Poster whoozit asks:

After reinstalling Office 2013 (Windows 7), with a gmail account forwarded via IMAP, categories are no longer available (I used them only for the calendar). Searched web and found out that categories are available only via POP, but I had them before the installation and it has always been an IMAP connection. How can I get categories back?

Can you answer whoozit's question? You can dish in the comments, or head on over to this thread in the Windows Secrets Lounge and speak up.
