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?

    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.

    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?

    Hello 1Laura,

    Thank you for posting to the Microsoft Community. We are happy to assist you.

    To see your replies in the conversation, you can try the following steps:

    1. Open Outlook for Windows.
    2. Click on the "View" tab in the ribbon.
    3. Click on "Show as Conversations" in the "Messages" group.
    4. Click on the "Conversation Settings" button.
    5. Check the box next to "Show Replies and Forwarded Messages" and click "OK".

    This should allow you to see your replies in the conversation thread without having to search for them in the "Sent Items" folder. Let me know if this helps or if you have any further questions.

    Sincerely,

    Simbarashe | Microsoft Community Moderator
