Outlook has a "Categories" feature which can be used to mark messages into well, categories. By default, the category names are colours - red, green. blue etc, but the first time you assign one, you are invited to rename it if you want.
To mark a message, select it then press the applications key to open the context menu, choose "Categorize" (T), then pick one from the list.
When you navigate through the Inbox, categorized messages have a coloured square as an indicator, however, NVDA does not report anything to indicate that a message has a category.
If you open a message, you can press SHIFT+TAB to move back to the header information and the category is reported there ("Red category", "In-Progress", whatever other names you've given categories, etc).
Expected behaviour would be that NVDA reports any categories (a message can have multiple categories) along with other information when navigating through it in a mail folder.
Using the current version of Outlook 2016 / 365: 1807 build 10325.20082 Click to run, on the latest Windows fast insider 1803, build 17730.1000 and NVDA Version: alpha-15781,d58e1cd4
The behaviour is the same when using NVDA 2018.2.1.
NVDA DOES report "Red flag" when messages are flagged for follow up (that is a different feature of Outlook).
Narrator DOES report categories when navigating.
