Make Threading/Conversation View Optional

As a new user of mailspring, this fact is quite annoying. It’s extremely difficult to find sent data and attachments, etc. Please urgently implement the function to deactivate ordering emails by threads. Just ordering each email by date is so important for complex business communication.

My vote for non-threaded, non-conversational view

Hey @Phylu !

Any news here? Please keep us informed … Would be more than great!

Unfortunately, there are no news.

Please consider to add this feature :slightly_smiling_face: I really don’t like conversation view

Thanks for giving us a status!

Like with many others, the lack of this feature is holding me back from using this otherwise fine client for my regular e-mail. I often have threads that stretch over years (for instance, 2023, 2024, 2025,…) but which I want to move to folders not as entire threads, but segmented and stored to years (part in 2023, part in 2024,…). Or there are messages in a thrread which I want to delete, but not the entire thread.

So this is (for me at least) a really serious lack. It means that I cannot use only Mailspring but need to now and then also go to the webmailer (yuck! ugly!) or use another client.

Just discovered Mailspring and I love it! Then I found out about threaded view only, and my heart broke. Such a shame, it seems perfect for me otherwise. But the ability to handle emails individually in threads/conversations is vital.
Personally I can’t understand why anyone would want threaded views, but to each their own. Please make it an option.

Please make threading optional.
I need my mails separately

+1 for the option to disable threaded conversation views.
Threaded views were awful in 2021, and they’re still awful in 2025.

Just going to put my $0.02 in. I like threaded conversation view, but not everyone does as we see here. Over the desktop mail clients I use, they do have an option to enable disabled threaded/conversation view. This includes Outlook, Evolution, and Thunderbird. Hopefully someone have the bandwidth and time in the future to implement this feature so people have a choice in how their emails are grouped.

I’ve switched to Mailspring recently and I was really surprised by not finding a setting to disable the threading/conversation view. The more I’m surprised now to see that this topic has been here for 4 years already, it has the most votes still not implemented :frowning:
But I really hope someone will find the time for implementing this feature.

Thanks for your work regardless the absence of this feature, I bought the license anyway to support the project.
