"GMail by all rights should be the dominant email client today, or at least every other surviving email client should have copied the conversation view from GMail."
Except that Conversation View is the only reason I avoid using the GMail web interface at all costs.
- brlewis 17y agoI posted a lengthy explanation of why I like conversation view here: http://ourdoings.com/ourdoings-startup/2010-02-09 http://ourdoings.com/ourdoings-startup/2010-02-09
- AndrewDucker 17y agoI can understand why someone would like them - but by making them mandatory they've removed one of the major things I use email for - reminders for myself/to-do lists. If I can't tag/file different emails differently, and I can't leave just one or two parts of a 100-mail conversation in my inbox for later action then it's no use to me.
- brlewis 17y agoStar is what I use for later action, which you can do to not only to conversations, but also to individual messages. You can tag conversations too. Maybe you can even tag individual messages, but I haven't tried.
- AndrewDucker 17y agoYou can't take individual messages, sadly.
