Outgoing Rule to Categorize

01. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , ,
I am a freelance contractor and I have e-mail accounts for several corporate entities that I manage in Outlook for Mac 2011.  I have rules set-up to all incoming messages to Categorize and therefore color code them according to Account.

I cannot get this to work for outgoing mail.  I tried entering the rule in the Exchange account, but there is no option for outgoing.  I entered it under Outgoing but it does not work.

It is rather annoying to view a conversation and see my replies in Black when the incoming conversations are color-coded.  This irritates my OCD!

Outlook office 2011, categorize colors of contacts do not show in Mail window. Works in Main Identity area but not in other user area.

Outlook office 2011, 

Categorize colors of Contacts do not show in Mail window. 

Works in Main Identity area but not in other user area.


On my Mac, I have the main identity (admin) and my own desktop.

My wife has another login with her own desktop (Standard).

When I open Outlook, I see the mail window in my area, my email is the color of the Contact that I set in the Contacts Categorize option.

This is what I expect.


However when I start Outlook in my wife's user area (standard), the mail is NOT the colors of the Contact that was set in the Contacts Categorize option.


For both areas under Outlook Preferences, Categories, the Assign categories to messages from categorized contacts is check marked.


So how do I get my wifes area mail window to show the contact colors in the mail window ?
