Thats what i did today, i renamed all by rules by color name. Than i just deleted duplicating rules and combined people under the color i wanted them as. So if i ever max out of how many people can be in one rule, i should be than able to add some new rules. I also did the same for my outbox.
so far so good. I was able to add about 4-5 people to my existing rules with no errors. some of my old rules were duplicating colors so i am hoping to mayb condense some of those down so i can make new rules. but this was soo much easier and i don't have to use the categories. they really didn't...
I just figured it out. All the rules I had in before the upgrade to 2010 i can just add new people to existing rulestom was one of my original rules. so if i just go to his rules and go to advance setting and i can add new people there without having to delete any rules to make new ones. and it...
Thanks for all your help Diane, I got it to work a couple times. Unfortunately I have to delete a lot of my rules to create new ones. I just wish they could make it a whole lot easier. Perhaps if they just have you the option when your in someones contact to just change the color there. I'm not...
this is picture from my inbox. I have the catergory selected next to the people, wrote the rule. Will it change their names to color selected in the category box?
it seems it keeps asking for more rules, even if i hit finish the color doesn't not apply to the person in my inbox, still shows black. Am i doing this right? Could Outlook have made this easier to use? Is there a chance this will be changed in the future?
I apologize for not understanding this, i'm pretty quick to learn things but this still got me so confused. Ok so for instance i want to make myself Purple. So in my inbox i set myself to Purple category. But i don't understand how to write the rule to make my name appear in purple.
i deleted one rule, the add button is now active but i'm still not sure how to make people in my inbox appear with certain colors? i don't really understand the caterogize option. will it allow me to make people certain colors. the rules seem very confusing and dont' seem to have option for colors.
I go to the View tab, View settings, Conditional Formatting. I'm trying to organize my inbox with colors. All the people i had in the older version stayed the same and i can edit them but it wont give me option to add new colors/people. When i go in conditional formatting, its reads at top Rules...

I've just switched from version 2002 to 2010. In 2002 you could organize emails with colors. I found in 2010 version where that option is but it won't let me add new people to make colors. even in the older version it kept telling me i could not add new rules, i've exceeded the limit. All the...
