How To: Transfer Categories in Outlook 2007 from One Installation to Another Using Google Sync
- by nicorellius
I use Outlook 2007 for email. I also happen to use the categories for organizing my mail. This function is cool, because you can use keyboard shortcuts that make categorizing mail quick and easy. The problem I am having is that, since I use Google Apps Sync at home and at work, I can't seem to figure out how to transfer the existing category assignments that I spent months creating at work.
As my email comes and goes, I assign this and that, with thousands of messages all belonging to specific categories. When I finally installed and started using Google Apps Sync at home, the synchronization process works great, but all my messages are blank, i.e., don't have the color categories I assigned at work.
What's worse, I actually changed computers at work, and now am facing the same problem on the new workstation.
Using: Windows XP Pro, Outlook 2007, Google Apps.
Anyone run into this and find a solution?
