Deletion of Incoming E-Mail-Categories

[Guest]

Hi all, does anybody know a general automated way to delete all categories of
received E-Mails (which where sent with categories). This could be
client-based (outlook-rules or so) or server-based.

(Detetion of all categories is prerequisite to assign own categories by
rules and avoid an uncontroled category-mix))

Thanks and best Regards

You can create a rule that does exactly that. There is a "clear message's
categories" action.

It can be done with code. See this:

Well, how about that. I don't recall seeing that before.

Quite possible; that action is new in Outlook 2007. FYI Exchange 2007 allows
you to manage it server-side for the entire origanisation (on by default) so
no rule has to be specified on the client.

Your post indicates a solution that works for previous versions as well ;-)
