GMail has buttons to archive or mute conversations/threads. Is there any equivalent or similar feature in Outlook?

To explain, archiving or muting moves the conversation out of your inbox, but it still appears in search results (this is important to me).

You can remove messages from your Gmail inbox but keep them in the All mail tab by archiving. It’s like moving messages into a filing cabinet instead of putting them in the trash can.

Archiving is temporary, a new message will return the thread to the inbox:

When someone replies to a message you've archived, the email thread including that message will show up again in your inbox.

Whereas muting is permanent:

When you mute a conversation, new messages added to the conversation bypass your inbox so that the conversation stays archived.

Muted conversations will only pop back into your inbox ready for your attention if a new message in the conversation is addressed to you and no one else

It doesn't seem that Outlook has identical ways to achieve it.

But it depends on what you're trying to achieve. By default, Outlook only searches a single folder and you can make it to look in all folders by changing the setting to include all folders when searching by going to File > Options > Search and then you can apply always move messages in this conversation from the right click menu on the conversation.

If you'd still like to get notified when there is message in the conversation, you can set up a rule for that or you can just simply ignore it.
