Hi Volodymyr,

Use the Categories property of any Outlook item (MailItem, TaskItem, etc.). The reference states:

Returns or sets a String representing the categories assigned to the Microsoft Outlook item. Read/write.

Hi Volodymyr,

Outlook keeps the list of categories in the following registry hive:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Categories

You can customize this list on your own adding categories and then use any custom category in your code.
