Outlook Color Categories
Microsoft introduced Categoy Colors for the Outlook Calendar many years ago. They are very handy for marking your schedule to denote important events, daily tasks, and personal items.
In Outlook 2016 and higher, Microsoft eliminated Calendar Categories for IMAP folders. They work with POP3 and Exchange Folders.
Color Category support on your Phone
- Outlook App: iOS version shows categories as "tags". Not on Android yet. Does not work with IMAP or POP3 folders.
- Google App: Has colors but they are not tied to Categories. Sync to Google. Cannot by synchronized to Outlook
- Android Calendar: Has colors but they are not tied to Categories. Sync to Google. Cannot by synchronized to Outlook
- iPhone Calendar: Appointments do not have colors or categories.
- DejaOffice App: DejaOffice is the only App that fully supports Outlook Calendar Colors with Outlook and iPhone.
The Solution is the DejaOffice App
DejaOffice is a free App you can download from the App store.
We wrote the DejaOffice App to work like Outlook on your PC.

Great product!
You guys have the best customer support I have had on the internet. Really,
Roy
Not only did he solve all my CompanionLink issues, but he also resurrected Outlook on my PC, that had been non-functional for 2 weeks!!!
Note to Management: GIVE THIS GUY A RAISE!!!!!!!!!! If anyone deserves it, Michael definitely does.
and with the courtesy and degree of expertise I experienced today while
working with Matt in resolving several issues that had arisen in my software
recently. He remotely connected into my PC and walked me through the steps
to work out the problems with my 2 phones. I am a disabled Vietnam Veteran
an d a long time satisfied user of your product. I have told so many people
I know about it they are beginning to wonder if I am an employee.
