Flagged emails on iPhone 5s don't show up as flagged in Outlook

Hi All,

In order to make sure this issue is known (and a higher priority), it would be good if everyone would make an official bug report to Apple at:

http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

Email flag sync from the phone is essential to me. I use this feature all the time to flag work emails that I need to address the next day at my desk.

I sent in a report and included the link to this discussion so that they can hopefully see that this isn't a one-off thing...

Same issue. Also submitted report. I have been following several threads referencing this issue and have seen no solution.

Add me to the pot. Using an iPhone 5S with iOS 7.0.1 and am unable to see emails in Outlook that were flagged on my iPhone. I hear 7.1 is coming in October so hopefully there will bea fix.

I just updated my 5s to iOS 7.0.2. This is still a problem.

- Flags set on my iPhone do not sync to Outlook.

- Flags set in Outlook sync correctly to my iPhone.

Ditto. Not fixed in iOS 7.0.2.

Thanks wicketthirteen for the bug report link.

I just piled on too.

This may not be much of a suggestion to anyone but.... as a temporary bandaid while we are waiting for Apple to fix this I created a folder ("* Flagged") that I can move e-mails into from my phone. Then when I get back to my computer I can flag them and move them out. The "*" just puts the folder at the top of the list for convenience.

Same here, i did deeper investigation:

It just affects the IPhone 5s. I've an IPhone 4s and an IPad 3 ... all running IOS 7.0.2. Same Exchange account on the same server.

If the 5s is flagging a message, the flag is only locally on the 5s, as all reporting here. The other IDevices can flag correctly and the flag is distributed immediately to the server and other devices.

But the 5s can UNFLAG a message, this is in this case distributed correctly to the server.

Reported it by phone to the Apple support ... will do the same ith the feedback above.

BTW: It's not only an Exchange problem but an ActiveSync problem. I'm running Kerio Connect with Active Sync in my environment.

Help! this is happening to me as well!

I think only the Apple Dev's can help us here ;-))

Same problem!!!! Please fix, My company lives and breathes on flagged e-mails. We have missed several customer issues because field workers were flagging e-mails that never got flagged back at the office to be addressed. Should I blame our negative customer reviews on Apple? at least step up and say it is an issue so I can go find another solution.

And just out of cuisoity. I am running Exchange 2010... I wonder if it is isolated to that version. Maybe the phone talks right with Exchange 2013. Would be curious to see what everyone is running.

I can confirm I have 5s as well and have tested on 5, 4s and it works with both exchange 2010 and 2013... Unreal...

Anwrks,

Have you filed your complaint/bug report with Apple?:

Seeing the same issue. We're running Exchange 2010 SP3 Update Rollup 2. I have an iPhone 5 and an iPhone 5s both running the latest iOS 7.0.2. Started by wiping both phones clean with fresh installs and then sent an identical Exchange setup profile to both phones. The 5 works fine with flagging emails and syncing the flags back to Exchange. The 5s won't work though - it keeps the flags to itself and Exchange never sees them. If I setup Google Apps (Gmaill) on them the flags work fine on both the 5 and 5s so it's specific to Exchange.
