Setting flag on sent message

TonyR567

Right clicking on a sent message header, I see no option for setting a flag (or label either, but I don't use those). The flag is an important feature for me since that's how I organize the most important emails that need my attention and follow-up.

If an email comes in on some important matter and I reply to it, I normally (that is, in other mail clients) delete that incoming message and keep only my sent mail reply. In all other clients I can then set a flag on that sent message, but not here. One significant issue that I think calls this client's data integrity into question is that flags set in sent messages of other clients simply do not appear here.

My workaround for the moment (and I don't think I can live with this -- it will likely be a deal breaker) is to retain the important incoming message to which I've replied and set the flag there. The obvious disadvantage is that if this is still in my flagged folder months from now, I might not remember that I replied to it. It makes much more sense to be able to flag the most recent and current message in the thread, which is my outgoing message.

Does selecting the highlighted Flag not work for you:

Thanks, Yojimbo. Obviously a newb here to whom you've shown great forbearance. The 'Add Flag' right click option isn't available from the sent mail message list, but I now see how to use the Flag icon to achieve the same thing.

One remaining problem, though -- the data integrity issue I raised. If I set a flag on a sent message in Yahoo! Mail, it never gets picked up in Vivaldi. Any idea how I'd go about trying to get this fixed?

(I just tested the converse, BTW, and there's no problem -- if I set a (red) flag in Vivaldi, the message gets a star in Yahoo!)

I do not have a Yahoo account to test with but do not see the same issue with other email services I use.

Consider trying the following to help troubleshoot the cause:

Sign into Yahoo Mail via there webmail page, star a newly sent message, and sign out
in Vivaldi, press Ctrl + F12 to access Settings, then select Mail and, under Mail Settings, Turn on IMAP Logs in Console
press Ctrl + Shift + J to open Developer Tools Console and select Console tab
in the Filter field type fetch labelvivexample
press Ctrl + Shift + M to open / return to Mail Panel and select the message that was 'starred' in Yahoo Mail
select and then Add New Labels…
type Example and select Save; note new label is automatically added to selected message
press Ctrl + Shift + J to return to Developer Tools Console
copy and post the resulting output shown here after having redacted each line's content up to S:, for example:

S: * 1 FETCH (UID 1 MODSEQ (20) FLAGS (\Flagged \Seen NonJunk $labelvivExample ))
S: * 1 FETCH (UID 108 MODSEQ (280) FLAGS (\Seen $labelvivExample))
S: * 1 FETCH (UID 1 FLAGS (\Flagged \Seen NonJunk $labelvivExample) MODSEQ (20))
S: * 1 FETCH (UID 108 FLAGS (\Seen $labelvivExample) MODSEQ (280))

press Ctrl + F12, then select Mail and, under Mail Settings, deselect Turn on IMAP Logs in Console

If \Flagged attribute is set then Vivaldi need to look at issue otherwise it is Yahoo
