I did as suggested and wow, the flag column re-appeared. But my elation was
shortlived.

I set up my hotmail account. Immediately, the flag column went away.

I deleted the HM account from OE, and the flag column came back!!!

Obviously, there's some kind of relationship between OE6 and HM that
suppresses the flag column when HM is set up.

I have the same problem. However it will not work for me. I already knew
about the solution you suggest. I have Right clicked on the Column list
(above the messages) and selected "Columns" But there is no Flag box.
I recently bought a computer with Windows XP installed on it. It has
Outlook Express 6. However the choice for checking the Flag box will not
work, as there is no flag box under Columns selection. I have been
computing
for years. I have always used Outlook Express. This is the first time the
Flag box was missing. Can someone tell me how to get it back? I have spent
over an hour with no solution.
Thanks.

Please deliver feedback to the newsgroup, so that others can be helped.
No

is less than 4-5%. If that were how medical advancements were made we
