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.

The Outlook object model doesn't support to set the cursor to a certain position. However, that's possible when Word is used as the e-mail editor. Until Outlook 2003 Word was optional, since Outlook 2007 it's always used, not only for emails but for all of the item types.

The example demonstrates how to set the cursor to the end position of the message field.
