Outlook 2007 Message Categories (part II)

[Alexander Freudenberg]

I'm referring to message
http://groups.google.de/group/microsoft.public.outlook.general/msg/aff4a746a06dc91b
in which Roady states the following:

"Exchange 2007 also has options to control this on the Exchange server
level."

Can you please clarify, where this option would be?
We have configured the mentioned GPO-Option "Managing Categories during
e-mail exchanges", but the categories are still not transferred.

Thanks for any hints.
AF.

I believe this is being one at connector level but I can't tell for certain
as I currently don't have access to an Exchange 2007 server. You might get a
faster and better response in an Exchange newsgroup.

We have configured the mentioned GPO-Option "Managing Categories
during e-mail exchanges", but the categories are still not
transferred.

Here's the solution:

There is a new client rule in Outlook 2007 that can remove all
categories if a message contains a category: "Clear categories on mail
(recommended)". After deleting this rule everything works as in older
Outlook versions. The rule cannot be edited or deleted in older Outlook
versions, but the rule works there too - just because you once opened
the mailbox with Outlook 2007.
