Gmail-Calendar Migration Tip of the Day #17

Today's tip focuses on the appearance of emails within your inbox.  The default is conversation view.  This means that your emails will be grouped together as a thread.  As people reply to an email, those responses will be grouped together in your inbox with the most recent email response appearing at the bottom of the conversation thread.  If you are a fan of your email responses grouped together as a conversation, there is nothing to change.  

If you prefer to see your email in the order it is received, regardless of topic, and not grouped together as a conversation, you can turn conversation view off.  To turn off conversation view, visit the gear > settings and in the general tab, scroll down to conversation view > turn off and save changes. 

Bonus Tip for Conversation View Fans!
If you don't like how conversation view puts the most recent response at the bottom of the conversation you may want to install and try out the Gmail Reverse Conversation Chrome Extension.  This will reverse the order of emails within a conversation and put the most recent response on top.  Try it out and if you don't like it, you can always uninstall this extension by following the steps on this support page.

If you are experiencing any technical difficulties with Gmail, please submit a helpdesk ticket.
