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?

    Same here. I have tried every suggestion in this thread, and the "Show Replies and Forwarded Messages" isn't an option in my Outlook either. Really inconvenient. Actually, not even functional in terms of workflow.

    Conversation Settings is not showinf "Show Replies and Forwarded Messages". However, there is option of "Show Messages from Other Folders" which also do not work in showing "Sent" items under conversation in Inbox.

    Same here. None of the fixes above have worked for me. I came from Outlook on a PC. Outlook for Mac really sucks. MSFT - do better.

    I can "group into conversations" or "show each message separately". That's it. No sub-options in either my online Outlook 365 nor my desktop version. I've always grouped by conversation and used to be able to see my replies in the thread in the reading pane, but now I can only view my recent replies by manually expanding the thread or getting into my Sent Items box. This was fine until very recently. Even manually expanding the thread can be sketchy - I've found other people's replies to the thread that didn't even show up in the pane to begin with! I don't know what changed, but none of the replies on this troubleshooting thread so far have been helpful since they reference options that don't exist for me.

    Of note, my mobile version doesn't have this problem. My recent replies show in the thread, as usual.

    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.
