outlook 2003 does not support more than 6 colors. your only option is
categories.

Outlook 2007's color categories offer 25 colors and you can use the same
colors with different categories.

Hi,

I use Outlook 2003. I use the flags (6 colors - red, blue, yellow,
green, orange, purple) to group some mails that I wont to follow up
together in my inbox.

My problem is that there are only 6 flags. I will be very happy to
be able to create many more (example: blue A1, blue A2, blue A3, red
A1, red A2, red A3, etc.). Is ti possible to do this? Can I create
new flags? If yes how?

If no, can I create a new field with categories such as A1 A2 A3 A4 A5
B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 C1 C2 Etc. Can I allocate one of these category to
each of my mails and then apply a sort on that column?

FYI the field category does this, but does not allow any sort on its
column.

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Jacques
