To manually add a category for emails in your inbox or sent items:

  1. Right-click on the email you want to categorize.

  2. Select Categorize from the menu.

  3. Choose an existing category or click All Categories to create a new one.

  4. The selected category will now be applied to the email, and it will be color-coded accordingly.

Outlook does not automatically apply categories to drafts.
​


For draft emails (workaround):

Since Outlook does not allow categories on drafts, you can:

  1. Save the draft and move it to another folder (such as your Inbox).

  2. Right-click and follow the steps above to apply a category.

  3. Move the email back to your Drafts folder if needed.

If the category colors appear greyed out, it may indicate a sync issue or a deleted category. Try reconnecting your email in Fyxer settings to refresh categories.
