Accidentally flagged all my messages

I don't know how I did it, but all my messages now have a red flag.

I really don't want to lose all my flags - that would be chaotic!

So my question is - even if I have to use terminal, there has to be some way I can just unflag the red flags which have been applied in the last five days - isn't there? Please?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5), 17", 3GB 667Mhz DDR2 SDRAM

Yes, thank you; I realise I could do that, but I have years and years of important emails (for example containing passwords and snippets of vital information, all colour coded), that I don't want to unflag. If I could somehow just unflag anything red flagged in the last two weeks, that would be brilliant. Are there no hacks or apps that would enable me to do that?

I don't really understand - wouldn't they just be still red-flagged but without the blue dot? And I really don't have time to select each one separately to get this done. I'm thinking this would be easier to handle on my Mac rather than an iPad, by the way.


And maybe a bit off topic, but I would just press Apple-U to cancel underlining. A quick nap by the computer can land you in a load of trouble. I once dozed off for a couple of seconds and found I had inadvertently ordered from Germany a pair of children's flip flops on Amazon - for a non-existent child! I couldn't stop the rogue order and had to pay postage from Germany as well!
