Search for Starred or Flagged Messages Across All Folders in Yahoo Mail

searchyahoo-mail

I am trying to find functionality in Yahoo Mail which is similar to what Gmail and Outlook allow for "starred" or "flagged" messages.

I would like to be able to star / flag a message, and then easily find all of my flagged messages, no matter what folder they are in – Inbox, a custom subfolder, Sent – either by setting up a smart search folder that lists all of the flagged messages, or by typing an easy search query into the search box.

Is there any way to do this in Yahoo Mail?

I had a little google for this and found if you enter this in the yahoo mail search box:

flags:flagged:1

This will do the trick for you. There are some clues here (http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?locale=en_US&y=PROD_MAIL_ML&page=content&id=SLN8405#table)

But this code snippet I found here gave me the 'FLAGGED' keyword I wanted to find starred (or flagged) mails (http://lists.roundcube.net/pipermail/svn/2008-September.txt)

     $a_msg_flags['deleted'] = $header->deleted ? 1 : 0;
     $a_msg_flags['unread'] = $header->seen ? 0 : 1;
     $a_msg_flags['replied'] = $header->answered ? 1 : 0;
+    $a_msg_flags['forwarded'] = $header->forwarded ? 1 : 0;
     $a_msg_flags['flagged'] = $header->flagged ? 1 : 0;
