Default Gmail-like Conversations

I was wondering if it is possible to setup outlook to have an inbox
with Gmail like interface. Most importanlty I am looking for having my
emails grouped as conversations (including the ones I sent). Currently
I group by conversation but Outlook still has some differences
compared to Gmail.

Thanks for the help.

No, not unless you move all sent items to the inbox. If you need to see the
entire thread for a particular conversation, right click on one message and
choose Find all, Related messages.

actually, it's possible (outlook 2007). just do the following:

- make sure your sent messages are in Sent Items folder (or remember
to choose the correct folder below for teh sent messages)
- create a search folder
- keep criteria empty/unchanged: this will select all files
- select in "Mails from this folders will be included...." Inbox and
Sent Items folder
- OK
- open the search folder you just created
- Select View--Arrange by..--Conversation

That should do it.
The result should look like this:
