Why is Conversation View greyed out in Outlook.com Android App?

Anonymous

I installed the Outlook.com app (version 7.8.2.12, build date 10 Oct 2013) on my Galaxy S3 and it is working well with the exception of conversation view.  When I go to Settings -> General Settings the option for Conversation View is unchecked and grayed out.  Does anybody have any insight as to why this may be and/or how to solve it?

Thanks.

    Hi trikotret,

     

    Welcome to Microsoft Community and I understand that you're also having the same issue with Outlook.com app. Since the recommended troubleshooting steps did not work, I advise that you upload its log files for investigation:

    1. Start Outlook.com app.
    2. In the message list view, click the ... at the bottom-right of the screen.
    3. Tap the settings option.
    4. Tap the general option at the top.
    5. Scroll down and tap the support tools option.
    6. Tap log level and choose fine trace.
    7. Delete/Remove the account and sign back in.
    8. Go back to support tools.
    9. Tap the send logs option.
    10. Send the logs to your email address.
    11. Log in to that email address and download the attachment.

     

    Here are the steps to upload a file:

    1. Click You have a private reply to this message link just above your post wherein you can upload the log files.
    2. From the private message window, click Upload Filelink.
    3. Click Browse button next to the field provided.

     

    In addition, could you verify if the issue happens when another account is configured to Outlook.com app? How about setting up your account on another device with Outlook.com app, do you encounter the same problem?

     

    We look forward to your response.

     

    Thank you.

    I have uploaded the file you requested

    Hi trikotret,

    Thank you for waiting. Our Support Specialist has responded and before reviewing the log files you provided, we advise that you try configuring a different account on your Outlook.com app and see if the same issue will occur. Are you able to change the value of Conversation View before?

    We are looking forward to your response.

    Regards,

    Grace
