Category Selection in Outlook 2007 takes too long!

Since I started using Outlook 2007, I've abandoned my old hierarchical
filing system in Outlook and replaced it by categorizing all messages
and placing them into a single folder called "Processed Mail" This,
along with the new superfast search in Outlook 2007 has made my email
life much easier.

HOWEVER ...

The categorization process is too cumbersome. It requires 3 clicks
plus typing the category name (or at least part of it). When you do
this all day long, it gets to be too much.

Is there a way to get the All Categories (Color Categories) dialog box
to pop up with a single click or keystroke? Is there any other faster
way of categorizing?

I am aware of how the function keys can be assigned to categories but
I have hundreds of categories.

Thanks!

have you tried using Rules to Categorise?

In the Inbox - Right click the email, Categories and then select one. Not
so many clicks really.

I hope this helps you at least a little bit!
