Essentially, you can add contacts just like categories to any item in outlook. The advantage is that a contact, unlike a category, has an "activities" tab which is great for seeing what has been (or will be) done on a project. The disadvantage is that you can't group by individual contacts (projects) in your views -- it's group by all contacts on an item. Also, I think there is an upper limit on categories, so tagging with them as in this article may be limited. An interesting extension to this is to also use contacts as “projects”.

I use the desktop client all day at work, but use OWA from home. I've used "search folders" to find emails tagged with "tag1 OR tag2", but I need folders to contain "tag1 AND tag2" (i.e. AND instead of OR). I've created a custom view with manually edited SQL in the filter to return "tag1 AND tag2". But although search folders are visible in OWA, custom views don't seem to be. Unless I'm missing something? Is there a way of doing this in OWA? Is there any way of getting this working in Outlook Web Access? I use the desktop client all day at work, but use OWA from home.

IMPORTANT NOTE: this feature has been removed in outlook 2007!! The new version does not support in-cell editing of categories. (extremely frustrating as think tip is looking great) Just came across this great tip via Google. IMPORTANT NOTE: this feature has been removed in outlook 2007!!

There are many great applications out there to organize your tasks and your life using GTD. But when it comes to Outlook, a very popular application which manages mail, time and contacts, a user has only the option of plugins designed for GTD. Let’s face it. We all are reluctant to leave our favorite application and use another one just to manage tasks. And then? Another application for emails, another one for tasks? It can be really confusing.That’s why I developed Jello.Dashboard. It’s just a homepage for Outlook, easy to install and use and totally free. maybee JelloDashboard will help you also.

Add the following code to the ThisOutlookSession object. Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean) If (Not Outlook.ActiveInspector Is Nothing) Then Outlook.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem.Categories = "" End Sub You'll have to enable the macro. Now your tags will not be sent with any outbound e-mail. You can remove the tags when sending mail with some simple VB. Add the following code to the ThisOutlookSession object.
