Multiple conversations with identical subjects

[Gerdo]

Hello,

Here is a question I cannot figure out. We all have multiple conversations
with identical subject lines stored. Personally I use IMAP from Gmail. The
webmail display all conversations perfectly, and can separate conversations
with the same subject lines.

In outlook when I group the conversations I get mails from different
conversations grouped together, just because they share the same subject
line.

Seems that Gmail can sort out this better then Outlook. I use Outlook 2003.
Nevertheless, I am look for a solution in outlook. If any pro out there can
help me with this I would be gratefull ..

Thanks in advance.

If the conversation index is missing from the internet header, outlook uses
the subject.

FWIW, google isn't perfect - i often send test messages to my gmail address
and google also groups them by subject.

Okay. But can you explain me more what you mean by " If the conversation
index is missing from the internet header". I am no specialist. Please
explain that more simple.

I see in Outlook I can also sort by conversation index instead of sort by
conversation. Should I sort by conversation index?
Maybe you can explain step by step how you make your view settings to get a
more or less Gmail look and feel.

Thanks a lot for your help.
