    In the New Outlook, you can ensure you’re replying to the latest email in a thread by following these steps:

    1. Check the Conversation View: Make sure your emails are grouped by conversation. This way, the latest email will appear at the top or bottom of the thread, depending on your settings.
    2. Look for Notifications: Outlook typically displays a notification if you’re not replying to the latest message in the conversation. It might say something like, “You are not responding to the latest message in this conversation” and give you the option to open the latest message1.
    3. Expand the Thread: Click on the conversation to expand it and see all the emails in the thread. This helps you identify the most recent email.
    4. Check the Timestamp: Verify the date and time of the email you’re replying to, ensuring it’s the most recent one.
