MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / August 2007Outlook 2007 Categories
In Outlook 2000 and 2003 I use categories extensively for all email and assigned categories rather than creating various folders for the differing email. I have my inbox and another folder called file cabinet (that's it), in which I store, my sorted categories for future reference. I am now using Outlook 2007 (company standard), and when I assign email a category and then reply to or forward the categorized email to someone else, I lose the category and have to add the category again. I have not been able to find a way to prevent this. Has anyone come across this issue and if so, how have you overcome it? Thanks. What do you mean by you "lose" it? Lose it from where?

Losing means, that when I reply to a message that is categorized, the replied message is not categorized anymore. I can naturally categorize it manually. This is new in 2007. And it's vey annoying. In Outlook 2003 it kept the original category by default. I really want that feature back. > What do you mean by you "lose" it? Lose it from where? > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > this.

You can try clearing the e-mail rule that says "Clear categories on mail (recommended)" and see if it helps with your outgoing message categories as well as those on incoming messages.

Other people have said what you want to do is no longer available in Outlook 2007, so you'd have to manually add categories to your sent mail, or perhaps set up an "After sending" rule that assigns a category based on some criteria in the message.
