TIPS - Categorize your emails with labels

Summary

Categorize your emails with labels

Body

Labels (or tags) are a great way to categorize emails for hassle-free searches. I also use them to give me a quick glimpse into who the email's from, so I can quickly determine its priority level. But as with any great organization system, there's a science to it.

The key is to keep it simple. Don't overdo it with the number of labels you create.  

To create a category label, click the caret beside the Categorize icon, which looks like a gift tag, and then click New category.

Portion of Microsoft Outlook's home tab ribbon. The category icon has been selected with an arrow pointing to the "New category" option in the dropdown menu. A list of three existing labels are also visible.

Give your category a name, pick a label color, and then click Save. (Alternatively, you can click Manage categories to create and modify categories.) 

And since you know how to create email rules, you can even automate the labeling process.
