How can you rename color categories in Outlook?

Renaming a color category in Outlook can make your life easier. Think of it like organizing your closet. Instead of “Green Category,” you might prefer “Important Meetings.” This way, you know exactly what each color means.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Click on Categorize in the ribbon. Then, choose All Categories.
2. A box pops up. Find the category you want to rename and click Rename.
3. Type in your new name and hit Enter.
4. Click OK to save your changes.

It’s straightforward! If you’ve tagged emails, calendar events, or tasks with that category, they’ll change too. It’s like updating labels on jars.

Pro Tip: If you want to rename and apply it to selected emails right away, check the box next to the category before clicking OK. This little step saves time and keeps everything neat.

Making categories meaningful helps you stay organized and efficient. So, give it a try! You’ll notice a difference in how you manage your tasks.
