Gmail allows users to mark groups and messages as favourites that make them easy to find. These favourite groups and conversations appear as a separate list on the left navigation panel. When an item is marked as a favourite, it appears as a favourite in the account only and doesn't appear as a favourite for anyone else.
To make this easier, use Google's email collaboration tool– Google Groups, a tool that helps manage anything right from a basic mailing list to a question-and-answer email forum and much more.
