Reminders are not appearing in Mail - and its the only way to set labels for flags.

Every place I look for information about how to set the labels for flags in Mountain Lion Mail shows that they're editable once you click "show" next to "REMINDERS" in the sidebar. However, my sidebar has no "REMINDERS" heading, and there seems to be no preference or option anywhere related to this. I upgraded from Snow Leopard today; I had reminders showing (as "To Do's"). I really really want to change the labels on the flags because they're useless otherwise.
Am I the only one with this problem?

Flags and reminders are no longer coupled in Mountain Lion.  So I'll try to explain how to see your flagged messages.
You can see a sidebar in Mail that looks like this.  Yours may not display the "Flagged" row yet.  I'll explain that in a minute,  If you don't see this sidebar, make it visible by clicking that arrow on top that would say "Show" if the sidebar were invisible (it says "Hide" here):
You can flag a message by clicking the "Flag Selected Message" in your favorites bar, which should appear just above the screenshot.  Once you have at least one flagged message, the "Flagged" row shown above will appear.
I hope this helps.
