In the Mail app, tap the "Edit" button at the upper top right. Once you tap it, you'll see "Mark All" button appear at the bottom left. Tap that button.

A pop-up should appear with the option "Unflag" listed. Tap that and all your e-mails should be unflagged.

Hopefully, that'll do it. If so, yay! If not, holler back and we'll take another shot at it.

When I do that the only pop-up choices are "Flag" and "Mark as Read", no "Unflag". My iPad uses iOS 9.1. Please help or I'll be spending the rest of my days unflagging emails one by one.

From the two choices, select "Flag". All of the emails will be flagged. Now follow the procedure once more. This time, you should get the option to unflag, instead of flag.

Don't do it! I just followed her instructions and now have over 10,000 emails in my flagged box. There is no way to unflag without unflagging each flag individually! I am so frustrated with Apple right now.

Many apologies.....maybe it's the shear numbers, but I finally did t in batches....leaving the mailbox each time and going back in.......thank you so much? Give me Outlook any day!
