Office 365 (Web) – Disable Conversation View in Outlook

An issue has recently come to light that is related to a default view setting in Outlook on the Web. Outlook on the Web is the version accessed through the email icon on the my.parkland.edu portal as well as the email widget within Cobra. Most of our students and a great number of our faculty use this version. Outlook on the Web defaults to “Conversation” view which groups all related emails sharing the same subject line together. While some users find this feature convenient, others find it difficult to locate and respond to certain emails quickly as it collapses the content within a conversation thread. As a result, some students and faculty have missed important messages related to class content and exams. Users have the option to change this view setting if they wish.
