This problem exist when importing form Netscape Navigator ( I had 7.8 ) too ! I find this an important bug/feature request ( essentially I am screwed ) Marcello
I discovered now that you have the labels ! Maybe the old orange flag can be converted in a specific label !

Not only the flags are not imported, also the read/not read status in imported mails (all imported mail is marked as being "new"). Also, the "Account" column (that tells what account each message came from) isn't imported as well. All this when importing from Outlook Express. Another related issue are incorrect future/past dates on some imported messages. See bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216613
