CodeTwo CatMan is a free tool for sharing categories in Microsoft Outlook. The program is used to deploy identical categories on multiple workstations with MS Outlook eliminating the need to finger-type data on each machine.

Features: CodeTwo CatMan allows you to share Microsoft Outlook categories with other users and manage them in an easy way. By installing CodeTwo CatMan and using one shared configuration file, you can very easily create a mechanism for centralized management of shared Outlook categories both in the local network and Internet. The program is used to deploy identical categories on multiple workstations with MS Outlook. It eliminates the need to type data on each machine. The categories are entered on just one computer and saved to a txt file to be placed on the network drive or alternatively WWW/FTP server. Public categories are common to all users on the network and are defined in an external configuration file. This file can be located in the local network, or on an FTP or WWW server. This means that also those employees who are on the move will be able to share public categories.

Private categories are the categories added in Outlook locally by a user and they are only visible for that user. On the list of categories a user can see both its own private categories and the public categories. All the time the Outlook client is open, the program monitors the public categories file. When one of the public categories is added, deleted or modified, the list of Outlook categories is updated accordingly. The program features a category editor in which the user can conveniently edit private and public categories. By setting write access rights to the file containing public categories located in the local network, the administrator can define which users can modify the categories.

Overall: It is a nice utility that can save some work in managing Outlook folders.
