In previous versions of Outlook I could use the "Organize" feature to change
the color of inbox mail. For example, I could say that mail with only me on
the To line would be red, mail from my boss blue, etc. In 2010 I can't find
this feature. I've tried to use Categories to compensate but it doesn't
automatically work on incoming mail and I don't see how to use Rules to
associate incoming mail actions with a cateogory. I'd really like that
Organize feature back! Anyone know how to do it?

The Organize feature was nothing more than a combination of features that
were available otherwise in Outlook as well. The feature you were actually
using was Conditional Formatting and is a View setting.
Switch to the View tab and press View Settings.

For more info on how to use Conditional Formatting (called Automatic
Formatting in previous versions of Outlook) see;
