View Thread’s Of Email Conversations 3
Hey
If you have a full inbox like myself it can be very easy to lose track of conversations. You are emailing people back and forth and you have no idea what email belongs to which conversation, it is even worst of people don’t quote what you have been sent. There is a rather simple option called “Organize By Thread” which will organise your inbox via threads. Its not a well known option so I would like to point it out.
To organize your email conversations by thread go to View > Organize By Thread. Let your computer whirl for a second as it sorts itself out and you will be presented with a threaded view as shown below. I must admit that the example shown isn’t very fancy I have only just been using this feature a couple of days, but it has a lot of potential.
It does make seeing conversations a lot easier. I have yet to use it to its full potential but from the small email conversations I have used it in it works really well.
You can convert it back to normal view by going to View > Organise By Thread and unchecking the menu item. It will then revert back to a list.
Where To Next?

Is there a way to have it display like Gmail does threaded conversations? It’s nice having all of these emails grouped together but it would be so more effective if I could easily read through the conversation by date and time sent.

I find it much more efficient to keep my inbox empty by filing or deleting the email after reading. Making a group of appropriate file folders, and dragging the emails to the right one makes finding any one email or string of emails much faster, and you can still use the threads feature from within the folder.

seriously, it’s “threads”. just a simple plural, no need to mess it up.
