TH's dashboard

Basically I joined the beta program for the conversation view.

I consider any implementation of mail storage that uses folders and seperates by account and sent or received mail to be a bug.

Honestly, if I want that, I can stay with any of the existing mail clients.

The way it looks now, I'll probably wait for the next few beta releases (if they happen), check for the way mail is handled, file another bug like this one and then forget about postbox and stay watching for another client that helps me.

After all this discussion, I think it's fair to say, that a full gmail-style conversation view is something that would be a purchase feature for a lot of us (And I'm speaking as someone who had an up-to-date paid license to Eudora between 94 and 06).

So adding this as maybe a preference would probably be good. This way you simply switch between "conversation view" and classic folders & thread view.

And as for why I'm not simply using any of the gmail clients like mailplane: I don't actually want google to have my mail, I'd rather have it on my own server/desktop and under my own control. That's why I'm looking for a desktop client. It's just that gmails mailhandling is so superior for me with my few hundred mails a day that I sacrifice privacy for being able to cope.

The 'Gather' button is found at the top right of the message header pane.

Actually, no, it isn't.



And a desktop incarnation of gmail would be the thing I'm looking for. Gmail is currently the best way to interact with mail. And the conversation view is a large part of that.

Actually I'd like to also be able to reverse the sorting in the conversation view. I usually read from top to bottom, and I like my mail the same way.

Actually, I can't find the gather button. I'm probably too stupid, but where is it supposed to be?
