Outlook2007 - organizing items using folders instead of categories

P

PaulR

I work on many projects, each of which has multiple subprojects and much mail
and many tasks, meetings, etc. I have an Outlook folder for the EMail for
each subproject. I would like to keep the tasks and appointments etc. (or at
least a pointer to each of them) for each subproject in the subproject folder.

Outlook seems to demand that tasks be all kept together in one gigantic
folder, same for other types of items. It has been suggested that I use
categories, but there would be an awfully large number of categories and no
outline structure (no sub-categories). I've tried creating a user-defined
field for project, but again no way to have subprojects.

This seems too basic a function to be missing from Outlook. It does exist
in at least one non-Microsoft systems (GroupWise) - why not in Outlook too?
