Currently, when a flagged message is moved to the Trash folder, the flag status is preserved as part of the message metadata. This means flagged items continue to appear in filtered views (e.g. “All Flagged” or smart folders) even after they have been deleted.
There is no built-in rule or filter option to automatically remove the flag when a message is moved to Trash.
Suggested solution:
Add an option — either as a global setting or as an available action within Rules — to automatically clear the flag status when a message is moved to the Trash folder.
Why this would be useful:
Flags are typically used to mark messages that still require attention or follow-up. Once a message is deliberately moved to the Trash, it is no longer relevant. Keeping the flag active creates unnecessary clutter in flagged message overviews and works against a clean mailbox workflow.
This would be a small but meaningful improvement for users who rely on flags as part of their daily email management.
