You can add the X-Priority header field and give it the value string "1″. For example: email.AddHeaderField "X-Priority","1″ This is the most common way of setting the priority of an email. "3″ is normal, and "5″ is the lowest. "2″ and "4″ are in-betweens, and frankly I’ve never seen anything but "1″ or "3″ used. Microsoft Outlook adds these header fields when setting a message to High priority:
X-Priority: 1 (Highest)
X-MSMail-Priority: High
Importance: High
I don’t think you’ll need all three, but you can add them all if you wish. My recommendation is to only add the X-Priority header.
