Also using Gmail here. In Inbox, you can Edit and Mark > Flag. There should also be a flag icon at the bottom bar. Is it not showing up for you?

Thanks for the reply. See numbers 2 & 3 here:

Definitely flag options that I don't have... :(

Hi Anne,

I do have the flag icon at the bottom but the only options it gives me are Mark as unread, Move to Junk and Cancel...

Also, same options in the edit view in my inbox

If you're using Exchange Activesync to access your gmail, then you won't have the flagging options.

Flagging only shows for IMAP connected mail (and maybe POP3 as well? Not sure).

It does show up in POP3, but instead of a flag, you now get a small round orange dot. No big deal.

iOS 7 lets you Flag individual messages (tap the Flag icon), or do a "Mark All -> Flag" to every message.

It does this for IMAP and Exchange accounts.

I don't know what you did to make it not show up.

Hi,

Did anyone find a solution to this ??

I'm having exactly the same issue.

Iphone 5, IOS7. the "flag" option was never there in the first place. Emails are synced with Outlook company email.


thank you
