Outlook Classic button to 'Show all messages in this conversation' -anything similar in New Outlook?
I just upgraded to Outlook 16.58 for Mac, and while I have been adjusting to the new UI, it seems there are too many features that Outlook Classic had that are gone from the New Outlook - that this release actually seems like a downgrade.
One of those features that I can't live without is that button that shows all other messages of a conversation - which appears when you're opening an email that's part of a bigger thread.
It's very handy when you just want to quickly reference an old message from the same thread. It's this button:
I looked all over, searched every possible keyword I could think of, but just couldn't find something similar in the New Outlook.
Or maybe I just missed it? Or maybe there's an alternative?
If there is, I hope someone can point me to the right way.
TIA!

Hi there,
Unfortunately, the exact feature that you are looking for does not exist in New Outlook but there is an alternative to this feature.
This can be found by navigating to Outlook menu bar at the top of the screen > View > Show as Conversation which instead of displaying all the messages in the thread on the reading pane in the right will display in the message list along with the folder names where the emails are stored.
You may also submit for a feedback if you feel that the feature in Classic Outlook is still something that you would like to see by following the instructions here - How do I give feedback on Microsoft Office?
