What exactly do you &nbsp;mean by flagging?<br />
<br />
You can flag an email for Follow up, but you can only apply 1 flag to each email.<br />
<br />
So not really clear on how an email gets flagged multiple times.<br />
<br />
Could you supply a screen shot?<br />
<br />
INitially I would make sure office 2010 sp1 is installed<br />

<br />
Then I would consider resetting rules and views as flagging, Organizing and categories are simply views<br />
<br />
So close outlook and reopen using<br />
Start&gt;Run&gt;Outlook.exe /cleanviews<br />
<br />
close and reopen again using<br />
start&gt;run&gt;outlook.exe /cleanrules

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
For some reason whenever I flag a message in Outlook on my computer it winds up flagging the same message multiple times. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I can't figure out for the life of me what's going on. &nbsp;I think part of it has to do with whenever it does a send/receive instead of doing a receive like it normally does it <br />
<br />
Instead it says Synchronizing subscribed folders for &quot;my gmail account&quot;.<br />
<br />
I can't figure out how to correct this can someone please help
