Manage categories

BlackBerry Tasks
supports synchronization with the categories in your work email account. New categories that you add in
BlackBerry Tasks
are automatically assigned a color and added to your work email account.
BlackBerry Notes
and
BlackBerry Tasks
support categories, but
BlackBerry Work
does not support categories.
When you change the name of a category in
BlackBerry Notes
