How can I clear phantom email flags? See screenshot.
There are several forum threads on this topic, but no resolution so far as I can tell. Instructions from five years ago might be wrong for current OS (Catalina). Restarting the computer is not the solution!

If this is an issue for you, you can rebuild the Mail boxes one at a time.

ok, this helped: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/379736/mail-showing-incorrect-number-of-flagged-emails
best, a.
I got exactly the same problem !
Brandnew mac, many old emails imported, flags going crazy.
1 flagged mail.. not showing ? or not existing ? who knows.
sometimes a flag folder appears (empty) just to disappear again
did try the spotlight -add mail / remove mail- to try and index (even with restart) - no good
did try rebuilding mailboxes.. uh.. which one ? all of them ! - no good
did try restart in safe mode and restart normally again .. nothing ..
GRRRRRR... help please ?
Thank you for this advice. I've tried that -- many times. Any other suggestions?
