Really appreciate that Gary acknowledges everyone doesn't have the same objectives or preferences. As an old-timer (first purchased computer was a Commodore 64, had to program it myself in BASIC), one of my pet peeves is how software/applications have tended to group functionality by pre-defined "use cases" that invariably are not applicable to what I want/need. Also commend Gary for his efficient, no BS, no "hey guys, how's it going?" approach to instrucitonal/informative videos. Best there is.
Wow! This was ne of the best spent 9:30 minutes on a Mac-tutorial. Having been a Windows user for decades (with an old MacBook in my private arsenal), I was really struggling with getting my mails organized in a more convenient way. This video solved it all for me - Thanks so much!
Thank you for your explanation. I never really understood how it works. I immediately turned the feature off. Now, I might give it a try in the future.
Makes sense and been using the Conversations thing for years. One annoyance, though, is when someone replies and sends an attachment. The attachment does not show on the reply but waaaaay down at the bottom of the beginning of the conversation. Is there a way to have the attachments show as being attached to the relevant email and not show up at the bottom of ALL emails? Thx!
7:00 THANK YOU. Oh man, this has been driving me nuts. I don't know why they started showing up with the latest at the bottom, but it's been really annoying.
Why keep 5 email conversations? Why not delete 4 and just keep the one that includes all the quoted emails? It just seems like clutter to me unless it has a greater purpose? Thanks.
Thank you❤. There is one drawback in Mac Mail convo view. Inhave a support thread with BenQ over crappy monitor they sent me. This one, spans over several months. What I noticed, mac mail breaks in blocks, depending on how far a long they go back. So, it would show a block or n July, block in May and etc.As always, thank you for your time.
Your videos are excellent an I look forward to watching your videos. I hope you make a video about pass key. There’s no one (credible imo) who’s made a video that I trust. ✌️
What irritates me is that, when I drag a conversation from the inbox to a dedicated mailbox, the messages that I sent are still in the outbox. Then I need to send them to the dedicated mailbox manually. Very annoying, unless there’s a solution to that that I don’t know of.
Wait, your iCloud email is coming in through your Gmail account? Or do you mean when you SEND email to someone else, they get it and it goes to their spam folder? Not sure why either would happen.
This is great information as always BUT I want to set All emails to NOT Organize by Conversation. In my industry, people respond to an email that have nothing to do with that conversation. Usually it is because this is just the last email they received from me and they don't take the time to start a new conversation. Sure, I can keep wasting time by going to View and Uncheck Organize by Conversation but that is inefficient! How do I permanently NOT group conversations?
I realize this is a year older video, but I have a question. Sometimes someone replies just to you in a conversation with many people. Then you need to reply to all people but don't want to included the last reply that was just to me, 2 replies back. Can this be done and how?
You would go back to that specific message that had everything you wanted. Reply to that. Or, you can always just reply and copy and paste different pieces from different emails to get what information you need in the reply.
Thank you very much for the informative video 👍🙏. Quick question: A client writes me an E-Mail. I write back und he/she does also. How do I print (or create a pdf) from only (and only) the third E-Mail. I always get all 3 🤬.
Hi there, so sorry to be commenting on a 12-month old video; please ignore if you're snowed under. Following your excellent instructions I can almost reproduce your settings but, when viewing as a conversation, I still see the quoted text and occasionally the first message in the thread is not the initial email. I'm doing something wrong but can't work it out. :-(
Could be your sort order, maybe? Try playing with that. As for quoted text, it could be that this particular conversation has some edited quoted text in it so it doesn't match up, but would with other conversations maybe.
My mail takes a while to load in different tabs i.e. inbox, sent etc. Only on my Mac. iPhone and iPad loads instantly. When I restart my Mac, it loads quickly after turning on, but then just gets slower eventually. Any advice?
@@luigibru8677 Perhaps because of the quoted text in the replies? Or some other hint in the headers we don't even see. Funny that another person in the comments is complaining that it does, and wants it to not do that.
@@macmost For example, I have an exchange of email with one person with the subject "Life is beautiful", then I want to to forward the email to another person and start another conversation so I add in the new subject "Life is beautiful bis". This should start or not a new conversation? Maybe I'm doing it wrong. Thanks

As always, Gary making communication just a little bit more easy.
Thank you Gary. This solved a couple other mail issues I've been wondering about. Very. much appreciated. (Still transitioning from Windows).
A very useful and informative video tutorial today! Thank you, Gary! 👏❤️

Definitely. Excited about that. Just waiting for some more websites to adopt passkey before I talk about it. So few use it now.
Thanks bunches..

One more way to get sent in the same line as inbox mails..
mark urself in bcc: 🙂
Still much more helpful video✌🏻✌🏻
First time visiting your channel, good stuff. One question though, at 3:17, is there a way to undo the "See More" after clicking it?
I don't think so. It would just not be there the next time you view that message.
What irritates me is that, when I drag a conversation from the inbox to a dedicated mailbox, the messages that I sent are still in the outbox. Then I need to send them to the dedicated mailbox manually. Very annoying, unless there’s a solution to that that I don’t know of.
off topic but all my iCloud emails are going straight to spam folders to gmail accounts. I'm addressing them as normal too. Why??

Just switch View, Organize By Conversation off.
What was “the hallway incident” mentioned in the email train?
Don't bring up the hallway incident!

Turn off conversation view in the View menu or just copy and paste what you want into a TextEdit document.
Thanks your answer.

I don't know why it is slow for you. Could have something to do with your email provider, maybe?
So, after all that, how does one turn conversations (threaded messages) off completely?!
Just turn off all of the features I mention in the video.
aaaaaaaaalso 3,200th like
But if I change the subject it should start another conversation
Right. I see what you mean. Yes it should. Doesn't it do that for you?
@@macmost it doesn't
