Using the new Outlook for Mac - how to view categories?
Dan Mills I named a custom category "Reference". I performed the following search:
category:referenceIt showed my desired items. I then clicked the "filter" icon towards the right of the search bar.
I then clicked "Save Search" and it populated and selected a new item along my left nav bar.
Take care - I repeated this process for "category:widgets", and it overwrote my previous search. I had not navigated back to Inbox after saving the first search. It appears the "Save Search" button is actually an "Overwrite current search" button, if you click it while you are viewing an existing saved search.
Amen to you IsaacRogers - I was implementing the https://youtu.be/0HbXVuzgk-c?si=FjhRkbFldi8e4QXx and thought I was about to be the victim of Microsoft v Mac yet again. Why Office365 apps can't have exactly the same features and functionality between Mac and PC is beyond me.
One thing to add - this seemed to go crazy (in terms of creating categories and also searching if I had both webmail open in a browser and the desktop app open at the same time - added advice then, close webmail if setting this up on the desktop app and vice versa).
- Amazing tips, thank you IsaacRogers!
- Helpful — thanks!
