Flagged emails in subfolders do not appear in the flagged folder

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 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.

my guess, it is not on their queue at all

I updated my bug report which should re-open it.

I have just sorted all my mail into subfolders, and am now experiencing the same problem. This essentially makes flagging the email useless to me, as I have to search for them anyway.

I've submitted a bug report as well, in the hopes that the more people who submit a problem, it will get noticed.

Thanks for the workaround in the meantime. Searching for "flagged" in 'All Mailboxes' seems to do the trick.

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

I Tried it and working many thanks,, but apple has to fix this out as its very sill

Yes, this is ridiculous. A work-around, by definition, is not a fix. This is extremely bad. And they've paid NO attention to it for years now. The "work-around" doesn't work for me.

I'm not sure what the point of flagged mail is if it doesn't work.

Dear all,

I adore apple & I don't want to leave but I’ve a big issue & i don’t know how to solve it: I can't find my flagged email in the MacBook outlook calendar

I am a marketing manager & I've a very tough schedule & I’m flagged email but I can’t find them on my I phone. However, they exists on my day App

Moreover, I can't sync Microsoft office reminders & my day with Ical & I Can't organize my work

Your urgent help is needed

Here in Germany it's even worse. We do not have an equivalent for the term "flagged", instead the term "markiert" is used, which would be "marked" in english. Everybody will immediately agree that if you search for the term "marked" you'd receive a whole lot of hits in return, because this is a much more common term than "flagged". So this search would bring up many irrrelevant rresults.

Now we have 2017 and still the issue persists. The whole flagging thing is useless is it is not mirrored across devices. Everybody should open a ticket with Apple Support and/or send feedback: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

Just sent a request to Apple. Feel free to do the same (included message below, welcome to copy/paste!)

It's great that using Apple's native Mail app gives more functionality across products. But those added features fall flat when Mail doesn't work well on its own - even for basic workflows.

For instance: Why does the "Flagged" filter in Mail for iOS only show the messages that are in my Inbox? I mean,

that's the whole point of flagging a message, right? To be able to find it easily, regardless of what folder it's in. My Mac shows flagged messages in any folder. I expect filters to work the same across devices.

It shouldn't be so hard to

find a message again after moving it to a different folder. Please fix this functionality. It's been requested since 2013.
