Outlook Calendar Color

[jthomas8946]

Does anyone know if it is possible to have the category color show up in the latest version of office on Windows Mobile?
Thanks.

Hasn't worked in any 6.5 build I've seen so far. In fact, I don't think Microsoft has updated the Pocket Outlook app in any significant way in a very long time, which bugs me a lot... the calendar sync/integration with my Exchange server is the primary thing I use this for, and it can't even do simple things like show colored categories to match Outlook. I wish Microsoft would start paying more attention to replicating as much Outlook 2007 functionality in Windows Mobile as possible rather than mucking about with all this Titanium interface stuff. I don't need things to look prettier, I need them to work.

There's only one app I've seen that will do colored categories -- AgendaOne:

It doesn't do it out of the box and requires a bunch of configuration by hand because it uses its own category color assignments rather than pulling them from Outlook, but it does work. Problem is it's a pretty heavy app and wants to take over your contacts and other stuff too... meh.

Very well said, couldn't agree more.
