How to display category name in sidebar

Copper Contributor

Hi Community,

 

Is it possible to display the category name in the sidebar in Outlook for Windows?

I can see the color, but not the name/text of the category.

I can see the text/name in the web client (see screenshot), but can't find the option for windows.

Thanks,

Hi @KilianL,

Outlook For Windows and Outlook for the Web display the Category Name in the message pane. In Windows, you may need to expand Categories column width to see the details. To expand the column width, you must place your cursor the right column splitter and move to the desired width.

OWA

For OWA, you can add a Category to the Favorite Bar, and it also displays the category name.
Select Add Favorite, type the Category Name
