[CrackBerry Question]

Will the revised OS ever sync Outlook Categories like they did in earlier versions?

Per this post, BB7's import of categories from Outlook did not come through on BB10, nor do I see it happening in the near future.

Recently got OS10.3.2.2168 and very disappointed to report that BlackBerry STILL does not let us sync our Outlook categories to Contacts. I have visited all kinds of forums, and people have been begging for this for a couple of years. It appears that BlackBerry could not care less. How could any company encourage feedback from its most loyal customers, and just continue to ignore this? To paraphrase Basil Fawlty, "we could run a perfectly good company if it weren't for those pesky customers!"

The vast majority of BlackBerry customers are using Exchange or Domino which means that BlackBerry 10 has been a marked improvement in their workflow. Even more and more consumers are using email services that offer EAS, so it's becoming a smaller minority of people who need POP level support, though IMAP users have similar issues.

This is a risk of using a device primarily made for the corporate environment.
