Categories in OWA

In Outlook desktop I can use the Categories (colours and descriptions) and I can create "Smart Folders" that grouped messages for category.

In OWA I can assign a category, I can manage the categories, BUT I can't find how I can see messages grouped for categories.

Someone can explain me? Thanks

  • it would be nice if the business side had the same category feature that is on the consumer side - it more or less works the way Vincenzo wants. (Outlook.com gets all the cool stuff.)

      uhm... the business version of Outlook for  Mac had this feature, in OWA there's the possibility to assign a category and then?

      Why in OWA I can assign categories?
      What is their function?

        You can use search in OWA to find emails categorized with a certain category. For example you can search for this: category:="Yellow Category"
  • You cannot filter by categories in OWA, neither can you create Search Folders there.
