Windows Mail does not flag messages. This is done by the user, message
rules set up by the user, or by some third party program. Clicking in the
flag column will flag or unflag a message. the flag is there for you to use
however you want to. Personally, I turn the column off.

The flag is seen only on the machine on which it is applied and is not seen
by any other machine.

I too had the question. I believe a message that is flagged has no
significance whatsoever. The sender of the email probably flagged it because
they didn't know what they were doing or they thought the message was special
and they wanted to bring to our attention. Personally, I have learned to
ignore it.

A message is only flagged if you or a message rule flagged it. If you mean
a priority marker, yes the sender sets that.
