Categorising items such as email messages, contacts and appointments makes them easier to find, filter and sort.

To assign a category, for instance, when creating an email message, select Options / Categories from the View menu. To assign a category to an existing message, right-click it and select Categories. When you have enough messages assigned to categories, you can arrange your messages so that all in a certain category are grouped together. To add or delete categories, go to Edit / Categories and click the Master Category List button.
