One of the colored flags, the one I use the most, disappeared from the Mail sidebar.

I am using Catalina 10.15.7.

I can still see the flags, I can select for other flags. I can mark messages with all of the colors. But I cannot select messages by the color I use the most

Mac Mail - Missing Flag Colors in Sidebar - Catalina Mac Mail allows flagging of email messages with 7 distinct colors. I have been using these flags for many, many years. Since upgrading to Catalina only 5 of the seven flag colors appear in the sidebar, so I can no longer view 2 of my flag categories. Mail still allows me to flag messages in all colors. This is extremely frustrating and annoying. Macs are supposed to make things easy. What's up? How do I fix this?

Flag order in Catalina How do I re-arrange the sort order of flag colors in the left mailbox panel? Seems like drag and drop should be the answer, like other mailboxes, but it doesn't work.

Flags in Messages In macOS 11.4 the flagged "mailboxes" in the sidebar have disappeared - how do I get them back? Or is there a new convenient way to see all flagged messages of a particular colour?

I closed mail and re-started. It worked this time, did not work, before.
