Flagged mail in mac mail is not functioning properly

I am having a lot of issues with my flagged email since I've upgrade to MacOS High Sierra.

Basically my flagged mail in mac mail is not functioning properly.

Emails in my Red flag folder remain in the red folder even when I change the flag colour to sort that message into another folder.

Flag counts on each folder are wrong.

Even when a flag is removed completely the mail stays in the folder.

I use flags as a todo list and this issue makes it impossible to work my system.

Is there a fix coming? Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there something I can do on my end to fix it.

Thanks

Click on plus sign and select your Macintosh HD and click on choose .

And again click on minus sign , see if it works .

Rebuild of mailbox brings only mails from the server so that will not help or you can create a new user accountHow to test an issue in another user account on your Mac - Apple Support and add mail account Set up Mail with email accounts - Apple Support every setting will be new and mails will automatically download in the new user account .
