we have the same discussion but not an answer yet.

What type of default mail accoutn do you have, is it IMAP?

No matter how I try to do it, I can't get the colours to stay on my
calendar items in Outlook.

I originally tried to create custom categories with pretty colours and
custom names, but after shutting down outlook (and the pc), upon next
restart, all the colours were blank and the labels were described as
"not in the master category list".

I tried again with the categories/colours already in outlook and just
renamed them, but the same thing happened and in the morning they were
all plain white again.

So I tried a final time and just used the categories/colours without
renaming and it happened again.

I've googled to try to find a solution but nothing I've read is
relevant or works for my prob.

Am I doomed to a life of black & white, or can someone suggest
something to help me?
