Custom colour maps for Outlook categories are repeatedly, randomly giving "invalid map error" windows and reverting to default Outlook categories about outlookgooglecalendarsync

Hiya!

So far so good with the hotfix - have not had any issues yet thankyou!

Really awesome work mate, really admire the constant dedication to the project!

Out of curiosity, what was the issue with the colour mapping stuff?

Thanks again!

I'm keen to get the next alpha release out and include this supposed fix anyway. Please do still update up here though and reopen the issue if necessary.

Thanks, always good to hear the hours put into the tool are appreciated 👍🏻

The issue was a rather intricate one related to the connection OGCS has to the Outlook client. When the client is closed between syncs, OGCS has to detect this and explicitly reconnect to it - the problem was for connection to the alternative mailbox to get the categories, it wasn't quite handling it properly....and then reverting back to the default mailbox and its categories.

There are so many permutations of OGCS configuration possible now, and almost endless "odd" scenarios that crop up on user's machines that this kind of thing is very hard to test against!
