In myOutlook Express In-box there are are normally 3 columns to the left of "sender". The column which shows flags is normally used to mark a message that one wants to attend to later.

I have many messages which I have flagged in the past, but the column which displays them no longer appears in my in-box message list.

Strangely when I do a "find" and check the "message is flagged" box, the find finds all those messages and I can read them. But since the column doesn't appear on the in-box message list I no longer can flag any new messages.

Help! I need my flag column back

Howdy:

Try this.. Right click on any one of the icons beside where the "flag" icon used to be and select "columns".. Now, make sure the "flag" option is checked..

Thanks so much, that did it, but I also had to enter how many pixels wide I wanted the column. And as a result I found out how to rearrange any or all the columns and the width of each.

Glad I could help..
