  Sub SetFlagIcon()
    Dim mpfInbox As Outlook.Folder
    Dim obj As Outlook.MailItem
    Dim i As Integer
    
    Set mpfInbox = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI").GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Folders("Test")
    ' Loop all items in the Inbox\Test Folder
    For i = 1 To mpfInbox.Items.Count
        If mpfInbox.Items(i).Class = olMail Then  
            Set obj = mpfInbox.Items.Item(i)
            If obj.SenderEmailAddress = "someone@example.com" Then
                'Set the yellow flag icon
                obj.FlagIcon = olYellowFlagIcon
                obj.Save
