with all the innovations they are doing...why couldn't they figure out the gmail mess ...with all old messages with same subject clustered together in the same mail...it makes it so difficult to understand...i dont know how people are comfortable with that...i dont know what the concept behind that is...beyond me

The idea is to keep all mails of the same thread in a stack so that it is easier for you to read / track mails of same thread.. I too felt it too irritating initially, but now got used to it :-)

i think its wrong...sometimes different messages have same title and same sender...it puts the whole thing out of context...they should atleast give options of two formats and let users chose it as they want....who wants to save messages anyway...

people who call gmail a "mess".. they are in a minority and are not it's target audience.. 99% of which is comfortable with the way things are currently... As for separating mails with different content, but same subject... that certainly is an added feature that they could work on.. try dropping them a mail about it.. I'm sure they'll reply.. Instead of resting your lazy bum flaming everybody, get a life.. get moving..

prakash, you are right in case you are using this for your personal use but mainly it is very useful when people are using it for office or business purpose coz they can have the whole discussion in one shot i mean you dont need to open different email to see the content rather just you need to drag it down.
