Why can someone from Apple not answer this question. The user community answers from the last decade through 2021 are of no help. It does not disappear when all flagged messages are un-flagged or have been deleted. It's a useless space waster.
Thanks for the input on this. Was just going to try this and opened my mail application again. After trying all day to get rid of the 'Flagged' mailbox, it was gone. Apparently it read your reply and decided to save me the trouble!

Agreed, it's kind of silly I think, but it\s a Smart Mail folder, so possibly Rebuilding Spotlight will get rid of it....
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode? Could take 10 minutes.
Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches & loads safe Drivers, & prevents loading of 3rd party extensions, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.
Open Terminal and run each of these...
sudo mdutil -E /
This basically asks for temporary super user status, which is why Terminal may ask you for your password (it may not if you’ve used a sudo command recently or are already logged in as a super user or root. The command asks the unix tool mdutil to reindex the spotlight database for everything on the computer, including external drives, mounted disk images, etc. To re-index only for a specific drive, use the /Volumes path. For example, for an external drive named “MiniMe,” the command would look like this:
sudo mdutil -i on /
Rebuilding a drive index can take a long time, so be prepared to wait whether you do it through the System Preference panel or the command line. A few minutes normally.
LOL, I thought of saying but didn't, that sometimes it takes hours for Mail to notice!
Want to delet Flagged mailbox in MacMail
