I am using the latest version of Outlook for Mac.

The transition from Entourage to Outlook has been extremely painful for this reason:

The flags in the UI are so small, they may as well not exist. So small they disappear under the scroll bar when scrolling down the inbox list. 

I don't want to use folders, I don't want to have to switch to view all flagged items, or some calender todo list.  I just want to clearly see which items I need to action when I scroll back through the last couple of days (which I have always previously done with flagging emails in a single click).

Is there a way to highighted the whole cell when flags are activated so it's coloured? I can't see how to create a rule for this.

I have tried every email app for Mac - nothing will allow me to have an inbox list, with flags/colours. Frustrating...

Can anyone please help?

Thanks
