Ios 6 no flagged email folder and no option to flag emails

if you simpally add the optional domain, you should be good, it worked for everyone i know so far. you can find detailed directions here:

Thanks Aaddern, this fixed my google apps account. Unfortunately, the suggestion to add "google" as the domain for the non google apps account left me with a infinite loop of prompts asking for me to type in my exchange password. I am 100% sure I was typing the correct password. Any thoughts here??

don't add Google. Add the domain that your Google Apps account associated with. yourdomain.com

if your useing gmail, and not an apps account. make sure you enter it as "google" not google.com i have no idea why that is, but it bombs on me with the .com. gmail.com seems to work too. if your useing a google apps account, enter in the domain name assocated with it.

Vodkajello, thanks for your input but I don't think you read my post correctly. The method of adding my domain DID work for the google apps account. What DID NOT work was adding google as the domain for the NON google apps account, as instructed by the website. I am still unable to flag items on my NON google apps account set up as exchange.

Got it. The key is to enter your whole gmail address when using the domain "google". For example jsmith@gmail.com rather than just jsmith. (That detail might be worth adding to the website as I am sure there are many others out there who were in the same situation)

Another thing that may catch users off guard is, initially, you will get a message saying that the connection to the mail server failed. When that happens, don't touch a thing and wait 1-2 minutes. It will recover on its own.

Thanks for the tips all. Hopefully this helps others too.

thank you for the tip on using the whole email address.

Sorry for the confusion above.

I get accurate function with regard to the flags when I do the dual account method I listed.

Even if I fill in the domain in the optional domain box I do NOT get the right number of flagged e-mail showing on the phone. Something is definitely not right.

Keep in mind that I am using Google Apps for Business. The flags do not work correctly unless I use the dual account method I listed above.

Hey Aaddern.

Your solution fixed my problem perfectly that in the gmail account (exchange setup) the flag function did not work under iOS 6.

Just by adding "google." (important is the dot at the end) in the domain name field fixed it.

Many many thanks. Great!

I have NO domain option? I have a gmail account added to imail, but my main mail account is my apple id. I have no flag folder and this fix is not possible.

Got it to work! don't really know how;)

Entering in my apps domain worked thanks.

However, flagged emails don't translate to starred emails in gmail and vise versa. I other words, what is the point. I am assuming that setting it up as a gmail account would make the star/flags work correctly.

I wonder if there is a way to map it, I could not find any however.

So I poked around and found that my "Flagged" email actually is stored in my Gmail "Starred" folder which (in my configuration) is in my Gmail folder tree.
