Make Outlook thread conversations like Gmail

Make Outlook thread conversations like Gmail: "

Blogger Peter Jelliffe has posted a simple guide for setting up Microsoft Outlook to mimic the conversation threads used in Gmail.

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:.

For all you Thunderbirds out there, you can do the same by simply clicking on the column on the far left of the message pane with the conversation bubble.
