Another Outlook (2007) tip

If you receive a lot of email messages throughout the day (or night, as the case may be) you can easily color code messages to help you prioritize and organize in Outlook.

* Highlight a message that you would like to colorize (just highlight it – you don’t have to open it)

* Click on Tools and select Organize

* A screen will open above your inbox; select Using Colors;  select from from the drop-down menu

* Now choose which color you would like to use for that sender

* Click Apply Color and that’s it

In addition, you can choose which color to use when you are the only recipient. To close the Organize plane just click the X in the upper right corner.
