NEW OUTLOOK "Group into conversations" not working for Shared Mailbox

Question

Hi everyone,

Can someone advise if in the version: "Microsoft Outlook Version 1.2023.516.100 (Production)" we can set the view in Shared Mailboxes to "Group into conversations". It is showing that it is enabled but not working.

What seems like is that you cant change the view in the shared mailbox at the moment.

Does someone know if this is possible? I really hate the "Show messages separately" and I want to keep using the new Outlook as I prefer it over the old one, I have already tried to take it out and put it again but not working.

Worth to mention this is the New Outlook not the old one and that the feature is working ok in my inbox but not in the shared mailbox:

Thanks!

Hi @Jose Medrano ,

I'm sorry to bring you a bad experience.

Since the development of shared mailbox is still in progress, and the function is not perfect. As a workaround, you can switch back to the classic Outlook by clicking the toggle button in the top right corner of the window.

Many features of our current products are designed and upgraded based on customers’ feedback. With requirements like this increase, the problem may well be released in the future, and I have submitted this feedback, you can vote via this link

Just Pointing Out that as of now, Shared Mailboxes still can't Group into conversations. Will this be developed at all? over a year now since last reply suggesting to go back to Classic Outlook as a workaraound... which is funny considering how Microsoft is pushing the use of the New Outlook.
