Outlook lists incoming email individually, regardless if it's a new message or a response to a prior email message. Apps Mail helps you manage messages more efficiently by listing groups of emails, called conversations.
Conversations are a collection of messages with the same subject line. When you click to read a conversation, you'll see all of the back and forth email responses that happens over the course of a single email conversation.
Lengthy email exchanges are simplified by keeping everything together -- no more hunting around to find bits and pieces of the same conversation!
