It appears that you can import Memos to Evernote from the Palm Desktop, and
not have to go through Outlook.  According to Evernote's Knowledge Base
forum:

<< If exported to .csv, open that file with Excel or another spreadsheet
program and paste each "row" as a new note into Evernote (or contact
Evernote Support for a more advanced, but automated method). If exported to
.txt, use the "Auto Import Wizard" and point Evernote to the directory where
all the .txt files were created. >>

That's the part I've been trying to think of for two days. I think 
George is coming from Palm Desktop, though, and maybe that won't work 
from there.
      I migrated from Palm Desktop to Outlook when I got my Treo Pro. I 
never could get Outlook to sync them properly with WinMob, then someone 
suggested Evernote. I no longer have Outlook installed (bought a new 
computer recently and didn't bother installing OL). So I don't remember 
the exact place I found it -- an option in an Outlook plug-in, maybe. 
But when I found it, it was a one-click deal to get all my notes to EN, 
perfectly, the first time. Super cool!
      Which makes me think Jim's sugg would be a good one. Display in 
Outlook one cat at a time, and import to EN. Display in EN so all the 
untagged are in a group, select them and apply a tag. Repeat six times 
and you should be set.
      Not as clean as importing categories, but no app seems to do 
categories like Palm Desktop did.

Alternatively, you did hit on an idea, George. Place a unique ID string 
in each note that ID's the category; e.g. **Dad** **Mom**
      Import the whole 1092 to EN. Then search each unique string. EN 
will display all the notes that have that string either as a tag, in the 
title or in the body. So a search for **Dad** will give you all those, 
and you can assign a Dad tag to all of them. Might actually be a cleaner 
op than Jim's sugg, depending on how much work you're willing to do to 
get that string into 1092 notes.
