If having special "this computer only" folders with reduced capabilities in Outlook's IMAP accounts isn't bad enough, I'm left scratching my head when I look at the half-removed Flag and Category features users have come to expect in Outlook. Categories and Flags in Outlook 2013 and newer If you need reminders, drag the message to the Tasks folder and create a task with a reminder. If using IMAP is a requirement, you can either move the mail to separate folders to separate it or use Automatic Formatting (Conditional formatting in Outlook 2010) to highlight messages meeting specific conditions. In place of flags (and their reminders), drag the message to Tasks (or Calendar) and set the reminder. If you need to use categories, you need to use a POP3 account instead or move the messages to a local pst file. The IMAP protocol doesn't support the Category and Flag properties on messages and assigned categories and flags are not synced back to the IMAP server. I can use categories and flags on mail in my POP3 account but categories are not available in my IMAP account and flags are limited to one flag, no reminder. Categories and flags are not available in all of my folders in Microsoft Outlook.
