Mac mail flags not working - Big Sur

Awesome! I've been trying to figure this out for months. Super helpful. Thank you!

Still didn't work for me, alas . . .

Agree with you about Big Sur. A step backwards - so far.

Hi, BecomingMe:

Place your curser over "Subject", then RightClick. Let me know if it works - or doesn't.

Best,

RB

I wish I could understand what this meant. I have no idea how to do what you are describing. What is the title section? Thank you

Thank you! Control Click while hovering about Subject. That did it. I swear "right click" used to mean "option click." I don't know when it became "control click." Thank you again!

justinec16's technique doesn't work for me. I'm on a MacBook Pro running Big Sur, 11.2.1 This isn't the first issue I've had with Big Sur. Wish I had never upgraded. It's annoying.

Glad that Ctrl + right click, on "SUBJECT" header worked! It's good to have flags back.

Hi Ron, It works if I hold down Ctrl and then right click on 'Subject' - the heading in the email column. (You know: Date, Sender, Subject, etc.)

I want to see flags next to emails in Inbox I don't want to have to go to separate folder to find flagged emails in BIGSUR email

That's what this whole thread is about! Go back to justinec16's solution, and remember that if you haven't set up a right-click on your Apple mouse, you can just control-click.

Is there a way to make it left click? Once you develop a habit, it's annoying to change it. Txs D

I think I need a screenshot - I'm clear on what you want to say. I really would like a left thumb click. Not a right click. Is there anywhere else I can view this instruction? Txs D

Justinec16, That was helpful, thank you. To clarify further, Right click about the FROM list of emails and the box pictured will pop up so you can choose flags and Attachments, among other things

One of life's frustrations eliminated! I usually right click with one finger at the lower right corner of the trackpad (no mouse) but two fingers did the trick! Thanks.
