I still agree that it would be great if MS To-Do / Tasks could show you your Categories from Outlook automatically. Just as they've automatically shown "Flagged Email", "Assigned to Me", "Planned" and "Tasks".

I use about 4 categories daily to keep up with all of the various status emails/tasks/followups are in across hundreds of emails before putting them in their folder when closed out/completed/confirmed.
I will not duplicate them manually in To-Do and assign them manually. I will use a 3rd party like Asana with the Outlook extension (right click, create Asana task, assign to project/category, create) before I do that since they work better for managing multiple projects, major tasks, and sub-tasks.
