Why does email flag keep changing randomly?

Anonymous

Each time I flag a message, I confirm that the message is flagged for ME. Once sent, the message is now only flagged for recipients. The item is no longer flagged for me, I have literally watched as Outlook randomly changes this selection even after the email is sent.

This attached message image was flagged for me. It now shows only recipient and NOT me. I literally read that it showed flagged for me and now it has changed!
