What? Threaded emails were present back in Eudora and were always in Evolution and Thunderbird, no? Weren't they even on newsgroup readers?
- boastful_inaba 3y agoPresent in specialist clients like Eudora, perhaps, but I think for mass-market users that only touched webmail and Outlook the introduction of threading in Gmail must have seemed heavenly.
- freetanga 3y agoEudora was -the mass-market-client back in Win 3.1 (along with Trumpet TCP/IP package)
- dcchambers 3y agoI never said Gmail invented threaded emails, just that it brought threaded emails to the masses. Outlook and almost all webmail didn't have threading support at the time.
- guerrilla 3y agoWhat's the difference between that and everything always had threads except Outlook?
- hotsauceror 3y agoOpera's email client had them too, I know I was using that around 2000. It was the first time I'd seen the feature, and it was one of the major reasons I used Opera for as long as I did. But Opera, then as now, was far from mainstream...
- lelanthran 3y agoTin. I used tin from mid 90s until around 2005, and it supported threads.
