different interface for Catagories (native or via 3rd party app?)

[Gaikokujin Kyofusho]

Hi, I try to use categories with outlook to help me organize my billion
and one emails but i am finding it awkward. I am a huge del.icio.us
fan, and there are some things i like about their bookmarklet that
would really come in handy with outlook like the automatic suggestions,
the cloud of tags (that can be sorted by frequency of use or
alphanumeric). Is there a way to have a pane (or at the *Very*least*
resize the category window) that is alway open where i can quickly
select categories/tags.

I am looking for solutions either within outlook or some third party
adon/plugin that would give the categories more functionality. Is there
such thing out there or are there any chances planed for the next
release of outlook? Any suggestions or ideas would be thoroughly
appreciated!

Cheers

The next version of Outlook has many improvements with flagging and
categories but I am not sure that it will meet your needs - it certainly
will come a lot closer. Stay tuned for a public Beta 2 this spring,
according to the latest microsoft rumors, and try it yourself (not on a
production machine, of course.)
