Um, wrong answer. He wanted to know if evolution supports message priority, not "marking as important". Message priority allows the >>sender<< to assign a message priority from low = 5, to critical = 1 to the message in the hopes that it helps the receiver determine what emails to read first. This uses the "non-standard" mail header X-Priority. A LONG time ago in evolution development, it was decided that message priority would not be supported because it uses a non-standard header. Search the archives (about 2-3 years ago). Even though you can not do message priority on the sending side, there still is a way to use filters to support it on the receiving side. Just filter on the X-Priority header field, and if its 1 or 2, make the message red - and for 3 or 4 make the message blue.
