Conversation View
Idea shared by Brett Humphries - 12/4/2015 at 7:22 AM
Proposed
I have gotten a lot of feedback from our users that it would be helpful to be able to change the view in webmail. Specifically, the ability to view messages in a conversation format.
 
Much the way the iPhone or Gmail handles the inbox. Instead of seeing 18 different messages at the inbox level, there's only the most recent, but upon clicking on that message, all related messages in that thread are available.

Brett, this is a good suggestion. As you mentioned, many users are familiar with Gmail and get used to the conversation view. You might want to change the subject of your post above to "Conversation View" to attract more votes.

Will this be something that gets added to version 16?

Personally I do not like the conversation view, but it sounds like a feature that some would welcome.

Let's add to this request a user setting to turn it on/off, similar to Gmail.

I am wondering if there was anymore thought about the Conversation view for SM? Now that SM16 is out I am wondering if this could be a minor upgrade at some point. Most people who like the way their Gmail looks do not even know it is called Conversation view or that it is optional and they can turn it off as it is set as the default view. Some of my users would like it so please let me know if this is even in the works for the next update?

Bumping this question back to the top as I have clients who want to use conversation view too. Switchable, the way it is in Outlook.

Hello everyone. I wasn't able to find confirmation that this got submitted to our development team, so I've gone ahead and done so. If we find out later we already have an active task for this, I'll reach out with an update. Otherwise keep an eye out for responses here and on release notes for further updates on this front.

Another vote from us on conversation view please.

Please make sure that any implementation of this feature can be completely disabled by the individual user, on demand. While Conversation View is welcomed by some, others just hate it.

Since this thread is going on 5 years old, probably should switch to G Suite if you want conversation view... :)

Is Conversation / Threaded View coming anytime soon. Its important to know this. 
I have somebody who needs a unlimited user license, the deal breaker being the lack of Conversation View.
If its coming in a few weeks or two-three months and is in the roadmap i can have the customer hooked on else he will goto gmail.

I want this too.
This feature is very important because, when I check mail, I can see previous content and I can remember what I have discussed with "the sender" of this conversation.

I had a customer ask about this today as well. They would love to see it as a part of SM :)

It would be a big feature for SmarterMail and compare to other products out there.

1 day from 2023 and still no conversation view :(

We have conversation view on some of the cheapest webmail options but not SmarterMail.

I don't understand why this is so complicated to develop.
