Recently I updated Office 365 and the Outlook emails are displayed without any line separators between mail messages. It was looking like a total mess and managing emails was very difficult. Therefore, I added vertical lines in outlook message pane to fix the issue. This action will allow you to differentiate between emails more easily. See the below screenshot where the messages are without any line separators.
