Hi, MsElfin.

Outlook 2003 stores categories in the registry.  Outlook 2007 stores them in a hidden folder in Outlook.  There is no built in means of copying them from 2003 to 2007.  It is possible to do it if you are comfortable scripting in Outlook.

transfer categories from outlook 2003 to 2007

Interactions between email servers and clients are governed by email protocols. The three most common email protocols are POP, IMAP and MAPI. Most email software operates under one of these (and many products support more than one).  The correct protocol must be selected, and correctly configured, if you want your email account to work.

Email Protocols

Microsoft Outlook is a personal information manager from Microsoft, available as a part of the Microsoft Office suite. Although often used mainly as an email application, it also includes a calendar, task manager, contact manager, note-taker, journal, and web browser.
