Flagged emails not showing up in Flagged box under mail

I am also having this problem! I recently updated my new iPad, iPhone 4S, and iPod touch 4g to ios6. I was so happy to see a flagged mail box, I really needed it! BUT...it is only showing 2 of my 7 flagged emails on all devices! I have to search for the flagged emails (which defeats the purpose) and they still show they are flagged. I would really like this feature to work properly because I don't remember all the emails I flag, so they really need to show up in the flagged box. I also have an AOL account.

Have you contacted Apple technical support? Being a new iPhone you should be able to get support. My technical support has expired on my devices! Please let me know what you find out.

I think I got it figured out.....for some reason the flagged mail box is also only showing "recent emails". I went to settings....mail,contacts,calendar.....under Mail, I changed Show to 1,000 recent messages, once I did that all my flagged mail showed up in its mail box! One would think it wouldn't matter if it was recent or not....flagged is flagged! But, at least it seems to be working! Hope this helps.

Your technique worked and it fixed the problem, but Apple definitely needs to look into this and have a better solution. I don't need my Mail to load 1k emails at a time haha. Thanks for the help!!!

You fixed my issue!! Thank you! I looked all over the internet and tried several things but simply changing it to show 1,000 messages worked! You're a life-saver!

Thanks,

A lot this helped so much.

Since I upgraded my software,I no longer have the option for how many emails to show-in settings.

Where can I find that setting now.

I am having the same issue. Not sure where to look.

I Know it's an old discussion but I 've been having the same problem and the no limit for mail sync doesn't look like a decent solution for showing flagged mail because it loads unnecessary mail.
