A Smart Way to Process Emails | Stack Method Email Productivity - Hacks for Gmail & Outlook (5 of 9)

I’m having a hard time understanding the “flagging” process, especially for the reply folder. Why would you flag it instead of just replying to it? I’m watching the videos in order on the playlist so this may be answered later in the series.

I think I need more clarification on the WHEN file. I believe the point is to get away from separate private Folders but I'm having difficulty. I've got a Budget Folder so instead am I supposed to list a folder that states When Budgeting? Is this not the same thing but potentially eliminating other private folders? My apologies if I'm making it harder than needed.
