1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,974
Outlook can group a message and its reply as one conversation.

2
00:00:03,974 --> 00:00:08,575
That is useful until you need each email visible as a separate row.

3
00:00:08,575 --> 00:00:12,469
We will change only the web display setting and verify that

4
00:00:12,469 --> 00:00:15,300
a fictional agenda and reply become two rows.

5
00:00:15,300 --> 00:00:18,840
No mail is sent, moved, or deleted by this setting.

6
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:23,087
This is different from Focused Inbox, which sorts messages into two tabs.

7
00:00:23,687 --> 00:00:27,371
The practice sheet describes two fictional emails with the same subject:

8
00:00:27,371 --> 00:00:29,715
an original Workshop agenda and a reply.

9
00:00:29,715 --> 00:00:33,398
If you have an authorized test folder with a similar pair,

10
00:00:33,398 --> 00:00:36,411
note whether Outlook shows one expandable row or two.

11
00:00:36,411 --> 00:00:40,095
If you do not have a safe pair, you can still

12
00:00:40,095 --> 00:00:43,778
verify the saved setting, but you should not claim a specific

13
00:00:43,778 --> 00:00:45,117
mailbox result was observed.

14
00:00:45,717 --> 00:00:49,939
In Outlook on the web, open Settings, then Mail and Layout.

15
00:00:49,939 --> 00:00:51,475
Look for Message organization.

16
00:00:51,475 --> 00:00:55,313
On some current layouts, Microsoft also exposes a Conversations control

17
00:00:55,313 --> 00:00:56,848
on the View tab.

18
00:00:56,848 --> 00:01:01,070
Use the control you actually see; do not follow an Outlook

19
00:01:01,070 --> 00:01:02,990
mobile or classic desktop path.

20
00:01:02,990 --> 00:01:08,363
Read the existing choice before changing it, so you can restore that preference afterward.

21
00:01:08,963 --> 00:01:13,140
Under Message organization, choose Do not group messages, then save if

22
00:01:13,140 --> 00:01:15,038
Outlook offers a Save button.

23
00:01:15,038 --> 00:01:19,214
If your version uses View, Conversations, select the ungrouped option there.

24
00:01:19,214 --> 00:01:23,390
Return to the same folder and look at the practice pair.

25
00:01:23,390 --> 00:01:26,807
The original and reply should now have separate rows.

26
00:01:26,807 --> 00:01:31,363
Their contents and dates remain unchanged; only the display grouping has changed.

27
00:01:31,963 --> 00:01:36,534
If you see Focused and Other tabs, that is another layout feature.

28
00:01:36,534 --> 00:01:39,963
Turning Focused Inbox off does not necessarily ungroup conversations.

29
00:01:39,963 --> 00:01:43,010
Likewise, sorting newest first changes order, not grouping.

30
00:01:43,010 --> 00:01:47,201
If your two test emails still appear together, reopen the conversation

31
00:01:47,201 --> 00:01:51,391
setting, confirm it saved, and make sure you are viewing the

32
00:01:51,391 --> 00:01:54,439
same folder and account where the pair lives.

33
00:01:55,039 --> 00:01:58,860
After the check, you can leave separate rows on or return

34
00:01:58,860 --> 00:02:02,335
to grouped conversations using the same Layout or View control.

35
00:02:02,335 --> 00:02:06,157
The answer check is deliberately narrow: one fictional original and one

36
00:02:06,157 --> 00:02:09,284
reply appear as two rows when grouping is off.

37
00:02:09,284 --> 00:02:13,106
Do not infer that a message vanished just because it was

38
00:02:13,106 --> 00:02:16,233
hidden inside a grouped thread before the setting changed.
