Need to give permanent categories to emails in Outlook for intra-office messages
There are 4 people in the office, which is using Outlook 2013. The head wants to send email to the staff with a custom category attached. He wants this category to be retained in the recipient's Outlook. They are using hosted Exchange.
The hosting company says that this is not a feature.
Is there a third-party application that can be used?
Thanks.

This will only stop O/E from clearing the categories. There is no way to prevent users from altering categories in Outlook items (including messages), of course. And this is done for a reason: categories is a very personal tool. It is a bad practice to use company-wide categories for messages (shared calendars are ok, though).

Would there be a third-party product that might do this?
There's no way to prevent a user from deleting or altering categories.

I appreciate the technical information provided.
Will those setting prevent the recipient from deleting/altering the categories themselves, or will those settings only stop Outlook/Exchange from removing the categories automatically?
