Make Outlook Thread Conversations like GMAIL

[kcnychief]

This is pretty cool....

To mimic Gmail’s threads we need a way for Outlook to group by subject, but ignore the FW: and RE:. Luckily, it has just such a feature. It’s called Conversation, and it’s an optional column just like date received and subject. In your Inbox, go to the pane that lists your emails. Right-click any of the field headings, like From, or Subject, and select Field Chooser. You’ll get a list of additional fields that pertain to your emails. Click and drag Conversation to the other field headings. You’ll notice it looks just like subject, but ignores FW: and RE:.​

Doesn't look any different to me. Just removes the RE and FW.

Post a screenshot of what it's suppose to look like?

Yeah, I've been using this view for ages.
It's not really "Gmail-like" but it's the same basic concept - grouping messages in the same thread together.
