Please bring back the categories feature in Outlook for Mac.
It difficult to filter out the information while on the Calendar, Notes, Task or Contacts.
At least give the option to filter by Category on list view and collapse group like in Windows Outlook.

Yes, please bring this feature back. I found it extremely helpful in my weekly planning and job process. As a coordinator, I rely heavily on features like this and it has made my weekly schedule viewing less useful since the change. I do hope the developers look at the constructive feedback and realize many people DO use this feature.

Now my calendar is a mess. I have to select a day view to be able to see all the double/triple/quad triple bookings. The calendar is so colorful like a Xmas tree.

Used to like viewing my calendar in the monthly view but without categories monthly viewing is useless. All I can see are projects that are scheduled across multiple days or all day entries. Has caused me to miss due dates on projects just because my calendar is cluttered with entries that I do not need to view all the time!

+1. This is a killer in my case. Utilization of categories in large organizations and being able to select what categories to show in my calendar is a must.

I switched from Office for Mac 2018 to Microsoft 365 for Mac expecting all the features are the same. I am beyond ****** that you would delete the categories in the navigation pane/sidebar in Outlook Contacts for Mac, a very important feature when working with a very large contact list and the very reason why I use Outlook. Now I may have to switch back to Apple Mail. :(

Categorising has to be the simplest and most useful data management feature. Don't tell me - the keyboard return key and space bar are the next on the list to go . . .

This feature is NECESSARY when organizing large numbers of different types of events and appointments within a university! Removing the categories feature was a TERRIBLE IDEA. Please add it again ASAP.

An absolute must have feature. Leaving it out renders the Calendar pretty much useless. What on earth were these guys thinking... it's beyond me.

lol my job was already hard managing 4 classes of meetings across 4 different teams (That's 16 meeting types X many meetings per team per week). Outlook just upgraded and filterable categories are gone. Now my job is like wtf.

I'm now paying you a monthly subscription for Office 365 and find I can't sort by category in contacts; something that worked perfectly in Outlook for Mac 2016
What the ****'s going on Microsoft. Put it back!

Please add back the category filter for tasks. It makes it much more difficult to manage tasks without it.
