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

When I flag an email from my phone, the emails do show up as flagged on my phone only. On my desktop, in outlook, the emails do not show up as flagged. This is a new issue for me with the 5s. Anyone else having this issue. Thanks

iPhone 5s, iOS 7

I'm running 7.0.4 on my iPhone 5, OSX 10.9.1 on my MacBook and Outlook for Mac 2011. I don't use flags that much in Outlook but this same issue happens on replies. When I reply to an email on my iPhone the little arrow icon does not show up and it does not say "you replied ..." on the email in my Inbox on my computer. The reply does, however, show up in my Sent emails.


Did anyone ever find a solution?

I still have this issue : some flagged mail do not appear in the flag folder on the iPhone (5, iOS 7.04)! Emails flagged on my MacBook Pro (10.9.1, built in Apple Mail) never appear in the iPhone's Mail flagged folder, even if they show as flagged if I search them.


Might this issue be linked to gmail (my mail server?) or is it that 2 apple app both up to date are not capable on syncing correctly together?

I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that replies to e-mails don't show up in outlook if the replies are made from an iPhone, by this I mean that outlook doesn't say that the message was replied to. I have never seen this work on any iphone I have with any version of iOS I've seen. It does work on every android phone I have seen though which is kind of annoying. I have been doing corporate IT for quite some time and this has been a question I have fielded a lot. Most people think it has to do with exchange but it only happens with Apple devices. This has been observed on iOS 2.0.1 - 7.1.

It seems that on iPhone 5s running iOS 7.1.1 flags show from both an Exchange Outlook Server as well as Outlook (fka Hotmail) email server's as long as the flagged email stays in the Inbox. However, once you move it to another folder (even if that folder is synced and pushed to your phone) it no longer shows up in your "Flagged" mailbox of your iPhone mailbox area. I, as stated by others, use flags as sort of a To-Do and it would be extremely beneficial to have this work as it has been stated online.


APPLE, please fix!


Thanks so much.
