flagged messages gone from folder

Updated MacBook to Monterey. Now all my flagged emails are gone from the flagged folder. I can still find them if I scroll through all my emails (the flags are there, just not in the flagged folder). I can find the emails in the flagged folder on my iPhone. I have the filter off. Any help/suggestions as to why this happened? I am old but only slightly technically challenged. Thanks

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.0

Hey Samallama,


If we understand correctly, you are not able to see the flagged emails in the Flagged folder in the Mail app. One thing you can do is rebuild the mailboxes to see if they appear again.


  1. "In the Mail app  on your Mac, select a mailbox in the sidebar.
  2. Choose Mailbox > Rebuild."
