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.

Have you ever accidentally clicked Dismiss All on the Reminder window when you actually wanted to dismiss only one item? To get those reminders back you can right click on the columns headers, click Field Chooser / All Task fields, then drag Reminder onto the headers. By clicking into the cell you can now turn on the reminder for an item.

Actually you'd also need to display the ReminderTime field. If it reads None for an item, it never had a reminder.

It's easier with this script: Just select some task items, and press ALT+F8 to run the macro.
