Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7
Rebooted in safe mode, did rebuild on all the mailboxes, and the spurious flagged count of 1 is still showing up.
Previously, I flagged and unflagged every email in all my folders.
Getting kind of ridiculous.

Perhaps you should try what you described in your subsequent post: Fix for incorrect flagged email count in Catalina 10.15.7

If you have no flagged emails in Apple Mail but the flagged folder still shows a count of 1:
Try disabling and then re-enabling the mail account.
Mail > Preferences > Accounts
Under Account Information, uncheck and then recheck the 'Enable this account' box.
Flagging and unflagging all mailboxes, restarting in safe mode, checking the webmail for flagged items, rebuilding the mailboxes -- none of those worked for me.
Just disable and re-enable the mail account. Try that first before any of the harder things!

I got this solution after a chat with Apple support, but it even took the technician a while to find it and suggest it. I suggested to her that they feature this solution in an easily searchable way as well.
Looks like leroydouglas has the answer, too. I wonder if this issue snuck in with Catalina or was always there?
In any case, the answer is finding its way into the search list already, so that's good. So many answers out there in the wild (not on this forum) that require very involved procedures - should always try quickest, easiest and safest first.
For those of us who take deep satisfaction in zeroing out our flagged backlog, this is an important issue ;-)
Yes - thank you, I tried to post that here but couldn't find my way back to this thread until I got the link from your reply. I'm still a bit mystified by basic navigation in this forum.
👍
ASC's site navigation isn't exactly intuitive.
This doesn't work for me.
