I do not use categories to separate my calendar events. It is too cumbersome
and not time efficient. I need to make an appt, label it and be done. You
currently allow users to add/create categories that do not exist, but not
labels. Most of us who use Outlook for personal as well as business
appointments need to be able to classify our time into more than 10 labels.
If we can add categories (which are much more involved) why are we not
allowed the functionality to add a label?
