Email inbox yellow star

Today, from out of nowhere, in my email inbox, my name has a yellow star next to it, for every email I sent to myself. Where did this come from, and how do I get rid of it?

Thanks for reaching out, Frank-er-lin.


It sounds like you might have added yourself to your VIP list, since you're seeing a star next to your email address when mailing yourself.


On your iPhone, you can simply tap the star next to your email address, or any email address, to add or remove the sender from your VIP list. You can also Make a sender a VIP in Mail on iCloud.com.


Hope that helps.


Take care.
