Flags in mail

I'm having trouble in Mail with the flagging feature.  I had a bunch of emails flagged.  I have since removed the flags, but they still show up in the "flagged" smart mailbox.  When I looked at them in there they are no longer flagged though.  In the past I had problems with messages that I had flagged not showing up in that smart mailbox.  Any ideas on how to fix this?  Is there a plist somehwere I should delete to get it to rebuild the list of flagged messages?

    When you use OWA in something other than IE, you're using OWA lite and no--it is not possible to do either in OWA lite (well, new Exchange stuff makes my answer a little less emphatic but still: pretty much no). Thanks Microsoft. But this guy made it possible to mark unread/read and select all/none:

  • Flags in Mail vs Outlook Flags

    With the new Mail in Lion, I can flag my mail to be followed up, however there is no tick like in outlook to tick off a mail once it has been delt with. You can highlight mail that has been read or not, but i would still like to see a tick that i dont go back to the same old mail and read it again. Is there a solution for this?

    n the support document at the link below, overstuffing is discussed, and you can assume the 2 GB limit applies equally to Leopard and Mail 3.x.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25812
    The limit of 2 GB applies only to each mailbox, and not overall. In Mail, a mailbox is the basic level of folder, whether a standard mailbox such as Inbox, or one you create for archival purposes. My Mail folder and all mailboxes exceed 8 GB on both a Mac running Leopard and another Mac running Tiger - no issues on either.

  • How do I label flags in mail

    How do I label and change the labels on Flags in mail and elsewhere

    Howdy Tchumbley,
    It sounds like you have some flags you would like to rename. Take a look at this info from the article named:
    Mail (Mountain Lion): Flag messages for action
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11748
    To change the name of a flag, double-click it and then type a new name. For example, double-click Red, and then type Urgent.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • How to get rid of flag in mail

    I downloaded the new Lion, and mail has this new fonction of flag.  But it put a flag on all messages and it take 4 step to delete a message now.  How do I get rid of this fonction.  Basicaly I don't want any flag ever!!!!!

    Use PreparedSatement class,
    e.g.
    // Where the name field is defined as char, i.e. needs quotes in SQL.
    String sql = "select * from person where name = ? ";
    PreparedStatement statement = connection.prepareSatement(sql);
    statement.setString(1, "Bob");
    statement.executeQuery();
    This will get rid of hardcoding db vendor dependant quotes in your sql,
    Hope this helped.

  • Unable to clear flags in Mail using Exchange 2010

    I am able to flag messages without a problem, but when I try to turn those flags off within a few moments it will sync them back to "flagged."  I basically cannot unflag a flagged message.  Connected to an Exchange 2010 server.  Not having any problems getting or syncing mail.  Activity window is clear and nothing is queued up.
    I see "changing flags" pop up really quick in the Activity window but as soon as it sync's back up with Exchange those flags come right back.
    Help!

    I've found a solution that works for me, although it's a little technical.
    I found that the Envelope Index file in Home/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/ is actually a sqlite3 database.
    the steps I followed were:
    Quit Mail (don't know if this is necessary)
    Open Terminal, and cd to ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/
    open the sqlite db using the sqlite3 command line client:
    $> sqlite3 Envelope\ Index
    Now, in the sqlite3 command shell I queried the messages table to see which messages were flagged:
    sqlite> select * from messages where flagged = '1';
    I verified that the one message I couldn't clear was in the result set and then I updated the database and cleared the flag:
    sqlite> update messages set flagged = '0' where flagged = '1';
    Re-start Mail, and voila - flagged messages gone.
    Note: to selectively clear the flags from only certain messages would probably require a more advanced update statement that included some join in the where clause.

  • Strange flags in Mail

    When I checked Mail this morning, I saw "!!" marks on the left side of some messages.  When I clicked the flag at the top of the column, the !! marks increased to most of the messages, with the orange spam flag on the rest.
    What is going on?
    I have 10.9.3

    Doesn't seem right.  That is the column (with flag at the top) with the spam icon in it and no one would tag their own stuff with spam.  Also, as I clicked the column header, the number of rows with the "!!" and spam markings increased by 2x.
    To test again, I just went to my email.  There were no markings on the visible page under the flag column.  When I clicked the Flag at the top, the !! marks appeared in 15 or so of the rows.  I think it is a bug.

  • TS3276 Setting Alarms/Flags in Mail

    How do you set an alarm or reminder (i.e. flag) an email in the Mail application.  You can do it in iCal but I can't see how to in Mail.

    Those features are coming in Mountain Lion.  Take a look at the Reminders app in Apple's preview:

  • Colored flags in mail

    Hello - does anyone know if I can use additional colors for flags in my mail? The only flag I see is the option to use the orange one. When I used to use Outlook I had 6 colors to flag with and liked using different color coded flags for different emails in my inbox.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks - Maureen

    Hi,
    Click on your message, go to the Format menu and select "Show Colors".

  • Flags in mails and clever smart folders...

    Hi all,
    This is one that has been niggling at me for a while now...
    My current workflow is... I get an email from a client, if I need to follow it up, but don't currently have the time (most emails...) I flag (thanks to lions new naming flags option) it as a 'to-do'.
    Next I move the email into a folder named for that particular client, which lives within a main folder called 'clients', save locally on my main machine.
    I can now review all the emails I need 'to-do' by clicking the 'to-do' flag, whist keeping my inbox clean.
    Here comes the niggle...
    If i'm out and about, and think about checking the list of 'to-do's' I can only see the ones I haven't moved from the inbox on my iPhone. I am using an IMAP account, (hence the flags working) but I don't want to pop all my 'clients' folder online as it is now rather large...
    Is there anyway to make a 'smart folder' on the sever, to find these flagged emails?
    Thakns in advance...

    A rule could work, but will also suffer from limitations.  You would have to leave Mail running on your Mac all the time, and the Mac on at all times, for it to file those messages properly.  And even if you set Mail to check mail every 5 minutes, you could still easily hit a 5 minute window where a message comes in and you see it on your phone first...  and then, being read, it won't get filed by the rule.  (Rules only work on new, unread messages.)
    So that may work, but will involve some inconveniences and won't work perfectly.

  • Flags in mail are not working well

    Flags are not working anymore after updating to Maverick.
    The single e-mails are still flagged, but the flag-mailbox folder doesn't recognise them.
    Any idea?

  • My "replied to" flag in Mail is not consistently set

    Running Yosemite and Mail 8.1.  Recently I've noticed that my little grey "replied to" arrow flag is not set properly after I have indeed replied to a mail message.  Sometimes it is, but most often it is not. However, I can't discern any kind of pattern to those that successfully receive the flag vs. not.  Any ideas?

    I ran into the same problem with only some messages (if any at all) showing up in the searches in Mail. For an example, I have over 100 messages from Netflix within all my mail folders (trash included) but when I search for anything containing "netflix" it would only pull up 2 messages from my trash folder on two random dates. This was the case for ANY searches I was trying to pull up, not just for netflix emails.
    I spoke to an iOS Senior Advisor who did a screen share with me (because he had never heard of the problem previously) and after reviewing the issue, he said he will be taking this up to the engineers.
    Here is what fixed the problem for me:
    1. Enable Indexing
    Open Terminal, and type the following:  sudo mdutil -i on /
    If it asks for your password, type it in and hit return.
    Re-open mail. If this didn't fix anything, then you will need to re-index:
    2. Re-indexing HD
    Go to System Preferences, Spotlight, click on the Privacy tab, click on the + to add the entire Macintosh HD to the list of "Prevent spotlight from searching these locations" and then remove the Macintosh HD by clicking the - button.
    Once you've done this is will automatically start re-indexing in spotlight. This took about 90 minutes on my computer, but once it was done, I re-opened mail and it was working properly again.
    If you still run into issues, I've heard that in Mail, clicking on "Mailbox" then "Rebuild" can sometimes fix the issue. Let me know if any of those steps worked for you!

  • Priority flag on mail

    I have tried the Apple help on what exactly the priority flag does on mail. All I get is a vague line of "Priority: Indicates the importance and urgency of the message".
    That doesn't say if it is just informational for the sender, is acted on my the recipients email system, or is just unless fluff that doesn't accomplish anything. I know I can remove option field by going though customization, but would be nice to know what it does.

    It all depends on whether or not the receiving email client supports the display of such flags. This is not a Mac-centric feature. Outlook for Windoze is capable of flagging messages in this way as well.
