New Outlook - how to remove grouping by today/yesterday/last month etc

Hi Eleni,

It does actually exist, so it is fully available in Outlook. It just turns out Microsoft decided to move it somewhere else without any instructions on how to find it.

To turn off the date groupings within the inbox :

1. Go to Settings (either in the ribbon click "View settings", or in the top right corner of Outlook click the 'gear' icon).
2. Click on Email (not Mail as I kept being told which doesn't exist).
3. Click on Layout.
4. Scroll down almost to the bottom to the section titled "Date headers" - click "Don't show date headers in message list".

Not sure why the terminology had to change, and the move in where to find how to select this option is so hidden, but that's Microsoft for you.

Kind regards

Tom

Hi Tony!

Thanks for helping my find that setting. Just a quick clarification.

It must be an issue of versions. I have version 1.2024.903.200 and my option is "Mail" as opposed to " eMail".
