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 fixed mine by doing this:

    Go to View

    Then View Settings

    Mail

    Layout

    Arrange the Reading Pane ------- Put this on "Newest on top"

    Hope this helps.

    OK, this wasn't the answer for me - but it eventually got me where I needed to be!

    For full context, I was trying to make changes to my desktop application, but I had to do it by using the web version on my PC.

    So, in my web browser (I had to use Firefox because Chrome wouldn't allow me to login) I went to:

    View

    View Settings

    Layout

    Arrange the Reading -> Newest on Top was already selected for me

    Message Height

    Always use Multiple Rows

    Save

    Close Outlook Desktop App

    Open Outlook Desktop App

    Replies were now visible

    Godspeed, and I hope this helps, because OMG, how annoying.

    Hi,

    if this doesn't work you can go to the same option by going to outlook menu, select File, Account Settings - Change Profile - Data Files - Settings - Advanced

    check "Use Cached Exchange Mode"

    I have found a solution.

    In my case the problem was that there was no local cache.
    Once i enabled it the feature started working again, and the "find related" also came back to life.
    Probably something in the update removes this option.
    so you go to File -> Account Settings -> Account settings and then enable the option as shown below .
    hope that helps

    Here I am in 2025 encountering the same issue after converting to Microsoft Outlook
    for work from using every other email program on the planet.
    To have to google how to fix this is just poor design. I couldn't find anything by right-clicking or a button nearby.
    The "conversation" mode should be default not the other way around.
