I sent an email to multiple addressees and received answers two three very separate topics that each developped into a discussion.

In outlook all emails are sorted as the same conversation due to the initial mail, however, I would like to split the conversation and future mails into the separate topics as one conversation each.

Is there a way in MS outlook to split a conversation manually or to separate specific mails from a conversation?

Note that I do not want to deactivate conversation sorting as whole, but just split up these specific (derailed) mail threads.

    Try to edit the subject-line of the messages to separate as in this link. If this does not move the email to a new conversation, try to disable sorting by conversations and enable it again.

  • This is about the closest someone's got to the desired outcome, thank you! I had two separate emails to different people with the same subject line and when someone replied to their email, Outlook sorted the reply from that person and the email to the different person into a single conversation. While editing the subject line separated out the reply, ideally both the first message and reply would be put into a single conversation, but this fixes the main issue (two different people being merged together).

There is no built-in feature in Outlook to split or merge conversations manually. You can try the "Show as Conversations" feature in Outlook, which will merge all emails with the same subject into one conversation. For different topics, if they have a different topic than the original topic, they will not be included in the current conversation. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/view-email-messages-by-conversation-0eeec76c-f59b-4834-98e6-05cfdfa9fb07?ui=en-us&rs=en-us&ad=us
