Hi, I have MS Outlook 2007 SP2 and have several mail accounts some personal
some business. I'm trying to get to use Outlook more intensively to
manage/prioritise tasks etc but am having a problem with Categories. With my
aol account (pop) that I use for personal e-mail the categories button on the
toolbar is there but the categories button facility on my business mail(imap)
is not.
Have tried changing/checking several things but nothing seems to work.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I don't believe IMAP accounts support categories.

As Brian said, officially IMAP doesn't support categories, and maybe that's
why MS has removed/disabled the buttons since OL07 . But my inofficial
experience so far is, it does work.

For a quick access to your categories, even in IMAP accounts, you might try
Category Manager. For details see the link in my signature, please.
