Conversation view is a new feature in Outlook 2010 that lets you see the conversation between two people in your mailbox. This is a great way to see what they’re saying and to follow up on any questions or comments. To use conversation view, open Outlook and click on the three lines in the top left corner of the screen. The first line will show you the people you’re talking to and their names. The second line will show you their conversations. The third line will show you what they’re saying. To start a conversation, just type one of the following into the text box at the bottom of the conversation view: You: Hi there! How are you? The other person: I’m good, thanks for asking!
