Combining conversations in Outlook 2010

Hi there,

Firstly apologies if this is not the correct form, (since it is more a user issue than a developer one).

Background

  • I have rules setup to move e-mails from my in-box to a separate folder in a different pst file.
  • The files from certain e-mail addresses are move to a project folder.
  • Depending on the mail content I then manually shift them to specific sub folders of the project folder.

Here is the issue

When I move a new e-mail to the sub folder it does not recognise it as the same conversation as e-mails already present, even though the subject is exactly the same.

Setup

  • Office Professional Plus 2010 Version 14.0.7015.1000 (32 bit)

Thanks for your help and time,

Vincent.

Hi,

Eugene Astafiev is right, don't just look at the subjects of the messages, instead we should check the Conversation ID.

The tool I recommend is MFCMAPI, you can download it from this link below:

http://mfcmapi.codeplex.com/releases/view/127629

With this tool, you can open your Outlook Profile and view your accounts. With this tool open, click QuickStart -> Open Folder -> Inbox -> You need to select the Outlook Profile, click OK -> Find your messages in the Inbox, check their Conversation ID:

Only messages with the same Conversation ID will be grouped as a conversation.

Regards,

Melon Chen
