My iMac doesn't show my flagged emails anymore; but they are still visible on my other devices. How do I get them back on my iMac?
iMac 21.5″, macOS 11.3
So the Flagged email mailboxes in the Favorites section of the sidebar don't show the email, right?
If you create a smart mailbox with the following criteria are you able to see all of your flagged email?
If it's no to both questions try the following:
1 - select all mailboxes in the sidebar and use the Mailbox ➙ Rebuild menu option. Let it run for about 5 minutes.
2 - boot into Safe Mode according to Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support and see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and check again.
NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 10 minutes as it's doing the following;
• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed
• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)
• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically
• Disables user-installed fonts
• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files

I found rebuild on my own. It brought most of the flagged emails back, but only only those from 2019 or later. The half a dozen or so earlier ones didn't come back although I can find them if I look hard enough. I will try the smart mailbox idea.
Sadly, the smart mailbox approach also only included emails from 2019 or later. I will have to hunt the others down and find another way.
