ADDING NOTE IN CONTACTS COLUMN IN OUTLOOK

We normally add a note under contacts so everyone in the team who are working on the same mailbox will know the status of an item. This saves times reviewing the history of a transaction or conversation. You would easily know what to do with the email without even opening or reading the message like the sample below.
