How do I use rules wizard to remove categories from incoming mail.

A number of people in our organization use Categories to sort their inbox.
When messages are forwarded or replied to, these categories are propogated.
If a message goes through multiple people, categories continue to be added to
messages.

Can I build a rule to remove all categories from incoming mail? How?

No, but you can handle this with a little VBA code:

Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
Item.Categories = ""
End Sub
