Flags no longer visible in message list in Mail

Mail "Help" gives the above note; however, since the latest version of Mail came with Big Sur, I have not been able to find a way to make the flags show in the message list. I can sort for flags, etc., and I see a flag within an individual email. But I can't just look at the list by date and see which ones are flagged. So, the last sentence of the Help message above is no longer true.

Does anyone have a fix for this? Or do I just have to suck it up as a "new feature" of Mail?

If so, this user is annoyed by it.

Control click on the title bar area for the columns ("From", "Subject", etc.) and select "Flags".

Thanks for responding. And, I'm still confused.

Maybe I'm just not seeing it. But I don't see the title bar you mentioned. Are any of these the title bars you meant. I know it shows up in the individual message header, if I flag a message. I want to see all the messages I've flagged in the left hand message list column. Please point me to the place I'm not seeing yet.

OH now I see it! *Control* click. Thank you soooo much. Who would have guessed? And why isn't that in the Help message? But those are different issues for a different day. You've saved my work process. I appreciate your quick response too!

I agree. It absolutely should be in Help. But thank goodness for CT, and thank you for asking the question.
