I have upgraded my labels from the previous version of outlook to categories,
works like a charm. However, when I close outlook and the re-start it, all
the imported color categories disappear. It's exactly the same if I create a
new category!

Any help would be much appreciated.

i think i have worked out why it doesn't do it. Our company used MDaemon as
it's client server and not microsoft. We also use the outlook connector.
Therefore, when I creat an appointment in MDaemon's worldclient it uses the
old labels format. This is then imported into outlook and the appointment
retains it's colours and everything. just can't do it in outlook.

What type of email account do have? Categories won't work properly on IMAP
accounts.
