Perhaps, for example, John, Jane, and you are emailing about Project A.

Perhaps they did at one point, but as the conversation drags on between multiple people, the topics of the email are no longer relevant in your corner of the world. Sometimes you can get emails that don't pertain to you. In the drop-down menu, you can choose to show the sender of the email above the subject line, expand conversations (so they're not collapsed like in the above snapshot), or indent conversations as they go down like threads on an online discussion board. Go back to the View tab and click Conversation Settings. You can also edit the way you view conversations. You can click on the triangle to view all the emails in the conversation.

Now, emails within a conversation will have a white triangle beside them as shown below. If you have more than one email account, you may want to select All Folders. Since we only have one email account tied to Outlook, we're just going to select This Folder. Then, put a check mark in the box Show as Conversations in the ribbon (shown below).Ī box will appear asking you what folders you want to show as conversations. To view your emails by conversations, click on the View tab. Right now, your emails are simply organized by date, as in our inbox shown below. We're going to show you how to turn it on, how it works, and how you can use it. By default, the conversations feature is turned off. It helps to keep your inbox more organized, and you can also see what's being discussed in emails. One of the new features in Microsoft 2013 is the ability to sort your emails by conversation.
