Default Calendar - appointment categories

I have recently moved from Outlook 2007 to an exchange server for my email
and calendar. We were able to migrate email, contacts, appointments, and
tasks. What didn't come was the category list with the names and associated
colors currently in use. The categories are there for the appointments,
tasks, etc. Is there a way to move the category list without having to
manually create the list over again?

TIA

You should be able to rebuild at least the category names from the data. Right-click the Outlook Today folder (mailbox root), choose Properties, then Upgrade to Color Categories. The colors you'll have to reassign.
