OP kevs Joined: Dec 2009	I just started using flags on Apple Mail for the first time. It's cool Mail creates a new flag folder, but I notice on the macbook air, the orange flagged emails are not showing on the laptop -- imap email. Last edited by dianne; 10/30/15 08:05 PM.

On a Mac since 1984. Currently: 24" M1 iMac, M2 Pro Mac mini with 27" BenQ monitor, M2 Macbook Air, MacOS 14.x; iPhones, iPods (yes, still) and iPads.
