If your inbox feels like a jungle, Outlook’s color categories are your rescue plan. They let you tag emails, meetings, and tasks with color labels — so you instantly know what’s what.
How to use it:
- Right-click an email → Categorize → All Categories.
- Create or rename colors (like Clients – Blue, Finance – Green, Follow-up – Red).
- Apply them to emails, calendar events, and even tasks.
💡 Pro tip: Use “Search by Category” to instantly see all related emails at once.
It’s like giving your inbox a color-coded brain.
