If I remember correctly, the ability to "flag" a message came quite
a bit before color coding was implemented ... I use flagging for one
purpose only, and that is to signify that a message includes a text
string which makes it of more importance to me. For instance, I get
a U.S. severe weather forecast email every morning, and I have the
filter set to flag it if it sees the words "Minnesota" or "Twin
Cities" or "Minneapolis" ... if it does, I know that there's
something that concerns me.
Otherwise, I think color coding is much more useful; it certainly
allows for more options. (However, I've seen what can happen with
*too much* color ... eeuuuw. Makes for a rather busy looking
inbox.)
I guess you can think of the flag as an alternative to one of the
colors, or an addition to one, but other than that it seems pretty
superfluous now that the color coding is in place.
