Manage E-mail by Conversation Thread in Outlook 2010

One of the most powerful features in the new version of Outlook is the new Conversation view, which arranges your e-mail in the inbox by conversation. Not only do all the related messages get rolled up under a common heading, but you can also see e-mail in the conversation that are stored in another folder, such as your sent mail. That lets you act on all these conversations as a group -- you can read the thread, delete all the related messages, even "ignore" future posts about that subject.

It's such a cool new feature that I was getting ready to make a video tutorial when -- wouldn't you know it -- Microsoft beat me to it. So I've got a pair of short, informative videos from the Office team that explain how to get the most out of Office 2010's Conversation feature.
