Outlook categories as context?

Hi there,

I am currently using the outlook client to sync between Outlook 2007 & TD. The client is great, thank you.

I wonder...is it possible to map TD context to outlook categories, and have two-way sync for the two? If no two-way sync, mapping the manually created ones would be great enough.

I am a GTD user setting categories as contexts in Outlook as most GTD outlook implementations. Mapping that to contexts would pass it onto other platform much more sensibly.

Thanks!

Keef,

It just comes to my mind. In the additional implementation of outlook categories<->contextx, It'll be really nice to treat Folders alternatively as projects, and/or assign & option to selectively sync particular folders, like the case in the current implementation of contexts.

Only if this doesn't add too much of load.

Hi Keef,

Sorry to bug you. ^^Would you be able to estimate when the context<->categories sync would be made available?:)

It's a free tool, so of coz you are not obliged in anyway. I'm just curious.

I hope to have some support for Category->Context mapping in the next release. That Should be available before the end of next month.

It sounds like they are testing a beta which features this. Check out this thread: http://www.toodledo.com/forums/8/2369/0/outlook-sync-beta-testers-wanted.html
