Unfortunately, Microsoft removed the "categories" option for Widows Mobile 5
devices from ActiveSync 4.x.
No chance to "ungrey" this option but it might come back with a later
version. However, this isn't confirmed so far but Microsoft is aware of it,
that users want to get categories support back.
