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:

  1. Right-click an email → Categorize → All Categories.
  2. Create or rename colors (like Clients – Blue, Finance – Green, Follow-up – Red).
  3. 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.
