Re: [Evolution] Exchange Outlook Mail Catagories

[Not Zed <notzed ximian com>]

Maybe in IMAP it is available as a "user flag"?  If it is, then it might be possible (if not particularly easy) to do something with it.  Otherwise it might not be accessible from IMAP at all, and not possible to access.

e.g. when you do a FETCH x (FLAGS) it might come back with a token to identify the category - the same way mozilla stores its 'labels' using $Label1, $Label2, etc.
