Using Color Categories to Manage your Email in Outlook 2007

A new feature in Outlook 2007 is the use of color categories. A replacement for the color labels from prior Outlook versions, when used in your Inbox color categories allow you to customize the category names, add new categories, and select from the 25 colors now offered.

Once you've created some custom categories, why not use rules to automatically assign incoming emails to a color category? Another great feature is the ability to easily create a Search folder on-the-fly to help you assemble your categorized emails into a single window. This video shows you how to use these great new features.
