INTRODUCTION

Yet another way to organize messages is to categorize them. Outlook provides several default categories, including Business, Personal, VIP, and others. In addition, you can create your own category. After you've assigned categories to your messages, you can view your messages.

TIP

Adding Categories

If Outlook doesn't include the category you need, you can add it. To do so, click the Master Category List button in the Categories dialog box. Then, type a name for the new category and click Add.
