Description

By default, Outlook 2007 doesn't send categories with your e-mails. That is, you can still categorize the item, but the receiver doesn't see that.

With an entry to the Registry you can get the old behaviour back:

For Outlook 2007:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER/SoftwarePolicies/Microsoft/Office/12.0/Outlook/Preferences] 'SendPersonalCategories'=dword:00000001

For Outlook 2010:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER/SoftwarePolicies/Microsoft/Office/14.0/Outlook/Preferences] 'SendPersonalCategories'=dword:00000001

For Outlook 2013:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER/SoftwarePolicies/Microsoft/Office/15.0/Outlook/Preferences] 'SendPersonalCategories'=dword:00000001

For Outlook 2016:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER/SoftwarePolicies/Microsoft/Office/16.0/Outlook/Preferences] 'SendPersonalCategories'=dword:00000001

Category-Manager Category-Manager
With Category-Manager you can group your Outlook categories, share them with other users, filter a folder by category, automatically categorize new emails, and more. You can use the Addin even for IMAP.

Download Reg File

You might download a *.reg file. Save the file to your computer, unzip it, then double-click on the reg file. That will add the entry automatically to your Registry.

Download *.reg file for Outlook 2007

Download *.reg file for Outlook 2010

Download *.reg file for Outlook 2013

Download *.reg file for Outlook 2016
