The sidebar in Microsoft Outlook 2010 displays a list of user-created email folders. I rarely use folders in Outlook, as I find organizing my inbox using categories to be much simpler.
Is it possible to display a list of categories on the sidebar in Outlook?

You can create custom search folders based on categories to organize emails. Not sure how efficient this is with a large amount of mail.
Use one of the following to create custom search folder:
Under the Folder tab in Outlook, click New Search Folder
Use the keyboard shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+P
In the sidebar of the folder hierarchy, you should have a folder called Search Folders, right click on it to get the New Search Folder option
Here is the Microsoft documentation on creating them for Outlook 2010.

How would I create custom search folders? – Stevoisiak – 2017-07-11T16:28:56.750
Towards the bottom of your folder there should be a folder called Search Folders. You can right click and that and create a new folder. – Confuzing – 2017-07-11T16:31:35.150

Can you summarize the relevant information in your answer? Typically links should not be used as an answer.
