Are you actually running the plugin's Create Collection option (after customizing and selecting your 'Imported Kindle Categories' custom column)? If you just send the books to the Kindle then the collections won't be created - you have to run the plugin.
Also, are you aware that you can run 'Import Collections' from the Kindle to import the name of your existing collections into your custom column instead of manually re-typing them?
You can always run Restore Collections to return the collection list to its previous state, and a copy of the original collections file is kept on the Kindle if you really need to restore to before running the plugin (or you can copy the system\collections.json file to your PC as an extra backup as well).
Note, the plugin will only be able to manage collections for books that are in calibre (unless you use the Edit Collections option to manually edit them). If you have books only on the Kindle and not in calibre then they should be in their own collections.

Thank you for the reply. I apologize for being unclear in my original post.
My anticipated workflow (with a couple questions, below) is this:
* Using Calibre, copy the books from my K3 to my Kindle Library on my main PC at home. I've previously created "Imported Kindle Collections" column.
* Run the Kindle Collection Manager and import my Collections from my K3 to Calibre.
I should see the "Imported Kindle Collections" column populate, right?
* In Calibre, assign/edit books to categories as I desire.
Now, my questions:
* What do I do after that? In this scenario, I've got books assigned to categories on Calibre but
not on my K3. What steps are required to get the categorized books from Calbire to K3?
* Must I run the Kindle Collection Manager plugin before and after every category modification on Calibre and K3?
Sorry for my confusion... I want to learn to do this correctly so I don't have to manually assign categories any more!
I appreciate the help of this group.
