Outlook 2007 - saving categories

[Guest]

Hello,
I am using the beta of Outlook 2007 that i recently installed on a laptop. I
use the categories a lot. But when I restart the computers, the category list
is reset. I then have to re-enter my category's names and colors. After this
is done, all my categorized emails get back their colors fortunatly. But I
would like to save my category list in a way or another, and not having to
re-enter it everytime.
Curiously, I do not have the problem on my desktop computer, also equiped
with Outlook 2007. Any idea ? Is is a known bug ? Thanks a lot !

Try starting Outlook with the /remigratecategories switch.

Tried it with a clean mail profile already?

Normally I would also try running scanpst.exe against the pst-file but that
feature is broken in the current BETA.
