Outlook Categories and Colors for Email and Calendar on iPhone

I was hoping that the iPhone would retain my Outlook categories and category rules. For example, when new emails come into my Outlook Inbox, they get categorized based upon the sender of the email. Does iPhone respect Outlook categories? Also, when I put meeting requests on my Outlook Calendar, they are color coded based upon those same categories. Customer A gets Blue, customer B gets Orange, etc. Is the color supposed to be retained when I look at my Outlook Calendar on my iPhone?

Thanks

iPhone 3G v2.0.2, Windows XP

Are these rules applied on an Exchange Server or locally on the computer?

If they are local on the computer, then any rules your have in Outlook will not pass over to the iPhone.

Any rules on the Exchange Server would happen on the server side and the iPhone would mirror what is on the server.

If you are not using an Exchange server and you want the same folder information from your computer to show on the iPhone, then you can use either an IMAP email account or MobileMe service.
