IOS 6.0.2. If I flag an email that's in a subfolder (all IMAP and on the server), they show as flagged in the folder, but they don't appear in the list of flagged emails. This same scenario does work when I do that same thing on my iMac and MacBook Pro, they show in the flagged folder there, but not on my iPhone.
I submitted a bug report to Apple Developer Bug Reporting on this on 3/11/2014, over a year ago. On 3/14/2014 I got a response stating that this bug report is a duplicate of another issue and would be closed. So evidently someone inside/outside of Apple had already submitted a similar request. However, with all the releases we've seen since then, they have not fixed the issue. Here are the "steps to reproduce" that I submitted originally:
1 flag an email in inbox.
2 go to flag folder to confirm email shows up.
3 flag an email in another folder, not inbox.
4 go to flag folder, only inbox flag emails appear.
I wonder if a) they actually understand the nature of the defect, and b) if their defect queue and prioritization keep pushing this issue to the bottom of the list. Either way, I would have expected that it got into a production release by now.
It's always been broken and horribly confusing like this, no idea why in gods name they don't just fix it - the only way to find flagged emails that are not in the IOS inbox is to manually search for them -totally ruins the concept of haing flagged email, why not just create a flagged folder and put them in it - easier than this nonsense.
I just submitted an enhancement request to list flagged messages in folders other than Inbox. Feel free to do the same: https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
Apple, this would be the intended use. I need to see all flagged email in all my subfolders. Please fix.
I completely agree, and I really hope they fix this as it is completely stupid to not show the flagged emails just because they aren't in the inbox
Doesn't work on iOS 7 either....complete crap.
iOS 7 mail is a pretty **** good improvement over iOS 6 but I can't believe they didn't fix this bug, it's terrible! Any ideas on how to fix this or get apple to fix it?
This is horrible!! One of two things I REALLY need to work. This bug renders that whole flagging system in the iOS as worthless.
This and the inability to send group emails makes this app useless!!
it is easier to just do the Inbox, so you must be wrong, you only really want that
Also have this problem and there doesn't seem to be a fix. I want to keep my Inbox clear but I also want to access the flagged messages in my archive folders.
On my iPhone doing that only shows flagged messages in inboxes.
On my iPhone, I get to choose between "current mailbox" or "all mailboxes" for my search; the latter works for me.
Is there still no fix for this??? Are there any Apps which might do this? I have written to a couple of Apps but they don't do it. Please, any help is extremely appreciated.
Yeah would love to be able to open the Flag folder and just see all the sync'ed flag emails... cant believe no fix yet.
I updated my bug report which should re-open it.
I Tried it and working many thanks,, but apple has to fix this out as its very sill
Flagged emails in subfolders do not appear in the flagged folder
