Flagged Folder - Mail Application

My "Flagged Folder" in Mail Application is not working. On the left sidebar, the Flagged Folder shows that it has 1 item. However, when I clck on the folders, there are over 100 emails, but only about 20 emails that are actually flagged and showing the red flagged.


I have two account: one Gmail.com account and one corporate account which uses Google Workgroup, basically a second Google accounts.


This Mac has been off for two months.


How do I re-index my accounts to get the accurate flagged messages in the flagged messages, only, in the Flagged Folder?


Many thanks.

iMac 27″, macOS 11.2

I fixed it. I had to select the mail in the left column then go to the "Mailbox" menu item and click "Rebuild" at the very bottom. What is "bad" is that I had no indication that the index was being rebuilt, I just came back an hour later and it was fixed. Thanks.
