Q: Flagged emails in subfolders do not appear in the flagged folder

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.

A:

As a work-around, if you search for the word "flagged" in iOS mail, it will return all of your flagged emails - even if they are in subfolders.

    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.

    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.

    my guess, it is not on their queue at all

    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

    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.

    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.
