Setting Categories for a Shared Inbox in '07

[JT-TCP]

Hello all,

I'm using Outlook 2007 with a shared inbox that others are using with
Outlook 2003. I can set categories (the colored boxes/circles) in the shared
inbox. However, the change in color/category does not show up for others
using the shared inbox in '03. I've tried working through this with our IT
department and my colleagues and no one can figure it out. Is this an issue
between '03 and '07 that can't be fixed? I'm pretty sure it's not a user
access issue, because I can do every other task in the shared inbox (i.e.
send and receive emails).
Thank you for any help.

-JT

Categories are client side only. In other words, it only affects your view
in that client.
