The flag e-mail feature is built into the 5.0 OS. I think its limited. I dont see a way to sort or filter flagged e-mails. Am I missing something? With all the reviews, i did not see a writeup for this feature

Go into Messages > Search. At the bottom where it shows type, change it from All to Email With Flags.

Thank you. Your info is helpful but it looks like I still have to put in a search term to look within flags. I want to just see the flags.

I left every field blank and just changed the setting mentioned above, and the results only pulled the emails I have flagged.

I see now. Thank you for teaching me something new.

No problem. I learned myself by you asking the question. Never tried it until I read your thread. So we both learned something new! !

There should be a shortcut key. I tried Alt F. No luck

Input the search as mentioned above, press the Menu Key, select Save. Name it along the lines of Flagged Email, then set the Alt key as F. That should create the shortcut you are looking for.

JS, you are cool.

Thanks for this.

Thanks! Just giving back to the community that gave so much to me

Glad I could help!

Did the shortcut work for you?

It did work for me. I used the letter E, but it did work.

can you be more specific. You pressed the letter from message screen? alt + e

Also, I called my saved search, "Flag."

Where is it?

I ask because in my setting the letter f is now gone

I go into Messages and press the menu key, from there I select Search
I scroll to the bottom and change Type to Email with Flags
I press the Menu Key and select Save
I set Title as Email With Flags
I set the Shortcut Key as E.
I press the Menu Key and select Save.

Then I go into Messages and press Alt + E.
It then pulls up all flagged Messages.

You can set the Shortcut Key to whichever letter you have available.

I hide sent Messages and Alt + O is set to show all outbound messages, so I use that a lot. I also have Alt + A set as sent SMS messages, Alt + Q as sent MMS messages, etc. I use these pretty frequently to filter what I am looking for.

I hope this helps clear things up.

I would try a battery pull and then try again. It should work.

Thank you. It didnt work with F but it works with E.

I am thinking a battery pull will fix the issue with F.

To find what you have assigned...

Go into Messages > Search > Menu Key > Recall.

From there you can delete or edit your saved searches.

You are the da man. Thank you. You are the 5.0 guru. Greatly appreciated. I hope to keep my setting as I load new variants.

I am learning with you! You're welcome and I am glad to help!

Yes. It is a great feature. If you are not using 5.0. Fabian created a similar free app for those users

Weird, mine already had alt-f set as flagged emails. This is 8900 running 5.0.0.238

Also, the W key seems to set the flag then set it to a checked flag if you press again.
