    Thanks, useful.

    But actually categories are limitate and NOT a practical tool (imagine case of email of multiple colours--> rainbow mails :-(( )

     

    A REAL tagging system would be the definitive solution for all us.

    for example: --> in exchange online the office Manager TAG/assign email to a single/group of employees. They develop it. The roles are clear. The responsabilities are clear. No headache. workflow linear and trackable.

    Also applicable in case of shared mailbox.

     

    PRO: no sharepoint, very easy to use, integrated in outlook, USEFUL !!

     

    thanks,

      Agreed! We seriously need a full fledge tagging system. Categories are great but very limited. Please implement a real tagging system - and don't forget to include the Mac and iOS users.
