Learn how to use categories that allow you to organise email messages, appointments, contacts and tasks across apps, independently from the folder structure. You e.g. can use your own category for a specific project or customer.
Categories have the following properties:
A category consists of a name and a colour.
You can create, edit and delete your own categories.
Depending on the configuration, specific categories are predefined. Such categories can neither be edited nor deleted.
You can assign a category or several categories to email messages, appointments, contacts and tasks and delete them later.
Note: For email messages, you can also use inbox tabs. A specific inbox category can be assigned to an email. The category depends on the sender, see Working with inbox categories.
If you are searching for objects in an app, you can use categories as search terms.
You can browse categories to find objects to which a specific category has been assigned in any app.
The following options are available:
Create, edit or delete your own categories with which you can mark email messages, appointments, contacts or tasks.
