Threaded email in Outlook

http://lifehacker.com/software/email-apps/make-outlook-thread-conversations-like-gmail-157042.php

This seems like a revolutionary idea to me, especially given how important Outlook and email is to my day-to-day routine (work and non).

I have changed my view to include the conversation header, and enabled grouping. I have set up the rule to copy sent items to the inbox. It's not clear here, but new mail does end up at the top with sorting by conversation, even though the threading is "kinda" by subject.

This is a huge change but I am going to give it a serious trial, as it makes so much sense. Further I plan to leave the sent items unread until I get a reply - that gives me the ability to track emails I am waiting for a response to, something I have always wanted.
