What Am I to Do?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>View Mail Grouped by Conversation Thread in Outlook<\/h4>\n<p>Outlook gathers messages from multiple days and folders into a conversation and then displays them all together.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>To begin, open Outlook and navigate to the View tab.<\/li>\n<li>Select Show as Conversations from the Messages group.<\/li>\n<li>Select This folder to enable conversation view for the current folder only.<\/li>\n<li>Alternatively, select All mailboxes to immediately apply conversation view to all your Outlook folders.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>Include Conversations About Your Sent Mail (and Other Folders)<\/h4>\n<p>Outlook can be configured to group messages together in a single folder and to draw from other folders, including Sent Items.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>To begin, open Outlook and navigate to the View tab.<\/li>\n<li>Select Show as Conversations from the Messages group.<\/li>\n<li>Select Conversation Settings from the menu.<\/li>\n<li>Check the box labeled Show Messages from Other Folders.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>How Is Conversation View Implemented?<\/h4>\n<p>Conversations are indicated by an arrow to the left of the conversation&#8217;s most recent message. To view the remainder of the conversation&#8217;s messages, click the arrow to expand the thread. To conceal the thread, select the arrow a second time.<\/p>\n<p>Unread messages are highlighted in bold; similarly, any collapsed conversation with at least one unread message is highlighted in bold.<\/p>\n<p>Outlook can be configured to remove redundant, quoted messages; you can also delete and mute Outlook threads to streamline conversations.<\/p>\n<h4>Additional Conversation View Configurations<\/h4>\n<p>The Conversation Settings menu now includes the following additional options:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Display Senders&#8217; Names Above the Subject: In a thread, Outlook displays the From: line first, followed by the Subject line. When this option is disabled, the subject lines are displayed above the sender names.<\/li>\n<li>Always Expand Selected Conversation: When you open an Outlook message, it is expanded to show all the emails in the conversation.<\/li>\n<li>Use the Indented Classic View: Outlook displays threads as a list with replies indented beneath the messages they respond to. When this option is disabled, threads are displayed in a flat list format.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>The &#8216;Show as Conversations&#8217; option is disabled. What Am I to Do?<\/h4>\n<p>Only when the emails in a folder are sorted by date can Outlook group conversations by thread. If the messages are arranged differently, the Show as Conversations option is grayed out and inaccessible.<\/p>\n<p>To enable Conversations, modify the view as follows:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Select Change View from the View tab.<\/li>\n<li>Under Save Current View As a New View, click Save Current View As a New View.<\/li>\n<li>Give the view a name that will help you remember its settings, and then click OK.<\/li>\n<li>Select Date from the Arrangement group.<\/li>\n<li>Emails are sorted chronologically, and messages can be viewed as conversation threads.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article describes how to organize your Outlook email messages into conversation threads so that you don&#8217;t have to search for all messages associated with a conversation.
