Category-Manager Category-Manager
With Category-Manager you can group your Outlook categories, share them with other users, filter a folder by category, automatically categorize new emails, and more. You can use the Addin even for IMAP.

When you mark a flagged item completed, Outlook displays the message striked with a checkmark. In contrast, this script completely removes the follow-up flag.
