The PR_IMPORTANCE and PR_PRIORITY properties should not be confused. Importance indicates a value to users, while priority indicates the order or speed at which the message should be sent by the messaging system software. Higher priority usually indicates a higher cost. Higher importance usually is associated with a different display by the user interface.

PR_IMPORTANCE can have exactly one of the following values:

IMPORTANCE_LOW
The message has low importance.
IMPORTANCE_HIGH
The message has high importance.
IMPORTANCE_NORMAL
The message has normal importance.
