[SOLVED] ZCO 5.0.18 cannot set categories

[btsang]

Since I upgraded to this ZCO, I no longer been able to set any categories in tasks. If i drag and drop it to a categories or click on a categories, it will move back to none in a minute or two. Some of the existing tasks that has cateogories before (set using ZCO 5.0.13) has also been changed to none. Tried a full sync and it won't help. Wondering if anyone else experience this as well? Is it a bug? or something I can do th address it?

I find this after my post, it's the same issue and it seems works for me (ie. no more such behavior after unclicking it),

There will be a patch to 5.0.18 coming out next week that will have a fix for bug 40456. With this patch, you will need to have HKLM\SOFTWARE\Zimbra\EnableLocalRules set to something greater than 0 for local rules to fire at all.

It turns out it is difficult programmatically to delete the Clear categories on email rule, but in the future (5.0.19 and beyond) at the very least, I will have code that will detect the presence of this rule, and tell the user to delete it if he wants.

Note that the Clear categories on email rule only applies to Outlook 2007, although the registry key will apply to all versions of Outlook.

Thanks for your promise reply, at least we know Zimbra acknowledge it and someone is working to fix this issue.
