No longer able to "Find related messages in this conversation" in Outlook Preview
Teresa_Cyrus so just to confirm, if I want to be able to see all emails in a chain, I have to keep changing back and forth to conversation view? This seems like bad design.
I prefer not to have my email shown in conversation view, and only need to see the whole conversation in a handful of emails. I'm sure I'm not the only one that prefers this. But if I understand your message correctly, this is no longer an option?
Your understanding is correct.
For me, I am a fan of group conversations feature. I know all conversations are located in one email as long as the Subject line is the same. I don't toggle the settings for this feature.
Additional advantages for Group conversations are it reduces the number of individual emails in the inbox, and you can file/drag 1 or the entire conversation in your folder at any time. This feature is also available in Desktop version. I have been using it for many years.
But I get it, it's all about preference. I advise that you give Microsoft feedback about how you use this feature. It is good to explain, how group conversation is not efficient for your workflow.

And now I'll be switching back to the old outlook! I absolutely hate the conversation view, and it doesn't work for how I file emails! Disabling "Find related messages" is a deterrent to using the new outlook!

I suggest providing Microsoft with examples of how you use the "Find Related Messages" feature in your daily workflow. It's important to keep in mind that the Old Classic Outlook may not always be available in the future.
