The solution is simple:</p> <h2 class="relative group">Solution <div id="solution" class="anchor"></div> <span class="absolute top-0 w-6 transition-opacity opacity-0 -start-6 not-prose group-hover:opacity-100 select-none"> <a class="text-primary-300 dark:text-neutral-700 !no-underline" href="#solution" aria-label="Anchor">#</a> </span> </h2> <ul> <li>Open Outlook, File -&gt; Options -&gt; Mail.</li> <li>Uncheck all options under &ldquo;Conversation Clean up&rdquo;.</li> <li>Save, quit Outlook and restart Outlook.</li> </ul> <h2 class="relative group">Workaround <div id="workaround" class="anchor"></div> <span class="absolute top-0 w-6 transition-opacity opacity-0 -start-6 not-prose group-hover:opacity-100 select-none"> <a class="text-primary-300 dark:text-neutral-700 !no-underline" href="#workaround" aria-label="Anchor">#</a> </span> </h2> <p>If you don&rsquo;t want to or cannot spend any time tinkering as explained above, you can use the online version of Outlook at either office.com or outlook.com. Online versions are not affected by this issue.</p>
