Sorry I came in at the end of this one... I was using OL2007 and have since
changed jobs and am back to using OL2003. I've seen a couple of posts noting
that if you turn off Quick Flags in OL2003 you can move the Flag Status
column. Can you please provide instructions on how to disable/turn off Quick
Flags? I have been unable to find that information in any of the posts or in
MS Help.
Thanks,
Pam

I was using OL2007 but have since changed jobs and am now using OL2003. Can
you please provide instructions on how to disable Quick Flags? I've check
the forums and MS help but have not been successful.
Thanks,
Pam

it was probably removed because it was wrong. I don't recall what it was
about but found this one:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ou...336951033.aspx

The correct behavior is that the flag column is not movable, unless it’s the
old style flag in Outlook 2003.

That's too bad. I liked the other answer better. So if we can't move the
Flag Status over by the other indicator columns on the left, what are we
supposed to do instead?

I'm currently using outlook 2007 SP2 MSO (12.0.6550.5003)
and this "bug" still persists. Come on Micro$of+. Just make a quick patch and push it out.
I wonder if this is a problem in office 2010. Anyone know?

this bug is resolved.
