I'm using Outlook 2003. Our department (consists of 5 people) have one outlook inbox we all share. We use category to assign who is working on a particular email (NOTE: each email is a task of work to do.) At times we get frequent emails our inbox that are related to each other. Instead of having to create subfolders, I would like to tie these emails together. Since we are using our category field to show who is assigned the work, I would like new fields like 'project' and 'task description' to also sort on. I haven't found a way to create unique fields that are quick and easy to populate. Any other ideas? Marie
