automatically categorize items in folders

[Tim]

Hi I currently sort my email into folders, ie work, home etc.
Is there a way of automatically categorizing the items once they are in a
folder.

thanks tim

Hello Tim,

Categorizing them based upon what kind of criteria?

I would like to categorize them by the folder i put them in, ie work, home,
etc.
i find it easier than categorising each mail individually.

thanks

The word "automatically" is the issue here.

You can automatically categorise using Rules at the point of receiving an
email or sending an email.

To Categorise a whole lot of emails at once manually, select them all, right
click and use the Categories button to pick a Category for them.

Hello Tim,

O.K., but if they're already in separate folders what's the point of categorizing
them? Seems a little redundant. Or am I missing something?
