How to edit existing category in Outlook?

Want to tidy up your Outlook? I’ve got some simple steps for you.

  1. Let’s get to the Color Categories dialog box. You can find it in the Tags group. Just click on “Categorize,” then select “All Categories.”
  2. Pick the category you want to tweak.

Here’s what you can do:

  • Rename it: Click the Rename button. Type a new name. Make it something that clicks for you.
  • Choose a color: Colors help! Pick one that jumps out. I love using bright colors for urgent tasks. It’s like a traffic light for my emails.
  • Assign a shortcut key: This is nifty. Select a key combo from the dropdown. It saves time, and who doesn’t want that?
