How can I see my replies in the conversation?

Currently, my inbox is set to see the emails as a conversation. However, I can't see my replies on the same email. Every time, I reply an email, it shows a "you replied on xxx" and I have to look for the email on my "Sent Items" folder which takes me time. Does anyone knows how to fix this problem?

    I am using MS Outlook for Mac 'App' and there is NO option 4. let alone option 5. you speak of anywhere, on any list or drop-down... when I search in settings for keywords conversation settings nothing populates. This was singlehanded one of the best tools you had on the old Outlook just simply telling a user you had responded or forwarded the email and not only have you removed it you have made it impossible to figure out how to get it back without actually reverting to the old MS Outlook version. FIX THIS and get this simple tool back on each email, and it shouldn't need to be only as grouped conversations... this is so insanely frustrating for the simplest step/tool. how do I get this fixed?

    I encountered this same problem when switching to "New Outlook" and using conversations. I could not find any setting for this, but during my search I accidentally enabled a view that showed my replies in the conversation.

    A little shocked at what I had just accomplished, I tried to reproduce the event in other conversations and eventually found that if I click the little arrow once to expand the conversation, I can click the arrow a second time to see my responses in the conversation.

    The arrow works like this; If you click it once, it will either turn 90 degrees and points straight down or it turns 45 degrees points obliquely down to the right. When it turns 45 degrees only, this indicates that there are more replies in the conversation currently not being displayed (your replies) and you can click the arrow once more to show them. When the arrow points straight down, it means you are currently watching all replies in the conversation.

    Hope this helps.

    I thought I was having the same issue as everyone else in the new outlook.

    This is what worked for me...

    1. Show as conversations checked
    2. Check the first three options in conversations settings (by default only the first two are checked in conversation mode)
    3. Make sure "always expand selected conversation" is checked. (This was the key to getting my replies to show up)

    That's it. Now I see my replies in conversation mode. Hope this works for others.

    Steps 4 and 5 does not seem to exist in the "New Outlook" either. How can I show conversations?
    I don't know what version number I have since all UI standars are broken, but I have a checkbox for "New Outlook" on in my installed Windows app.

    Thank God,

    I thought I was going crazy.

    I'm just going to start routing my emails through another platform, Outlook is an absolute headwreck.
