>I like the Favorites feature. I use it as a kind of 'sticky notes' tool for messages I want to come back to in the near future, for example to reply or to read more thoroughly when I have more time. The one-click Add to Favorites is very convenient when browsing quickly through a day's worth of messages. Displaying the favorite messages titles in the dashboard provides a constant reminder that I intended to do something with them, plus it saves time because I don't have to go find them in a folder. FWIW I tend to use Folders for longer-term storage of stuff I want to save for reference.

See the update on the Dashboard in regards to the Folder section which now replaces the previous option. If you don't see it, you might need to login again.
