In Gmail Webpage and Java App (even), all the messages in one conservation are grouped in one message in inbox label, for example if message to Mr A, he replied me back, I replied Back, instead of 3 separate mails, it will show me header of 3 mails in one line, in main view of Inbox, like in my attached image 21 messages are transferred between Igor and me, all are displayed under one header? do profimail has such feature? as currently it may show in 21 different headers?

Any solution?

Currently ProfiMail doesn't have such collapsed threaded view. Threads are expanded and connectedy visually by lines.

Hi Admin, i reckon this feature should be employed in the next release, as it don't hurt at all and Lonelycatgames is not shy of adding features. Apart from that, another feature i am desperately looking for is to have ability, to change white default background while reading/writing email text (same goes for Slick) and also ability to change the text color as well.

Is there any possibility for my suggestions to be heard here or it is hope against hope.

For now, colors in message reader/writer are hard-coded.
We'll add this as feature request to obey theme colors also there.

Hi LCG,

I want to raise this missing feature. Collapsing the already implemented threaded view will result in a great outline. At least if the collapse state is stored as well (at least per folder).

I always sort by date with the newest messages at top. If there is a very long threaded view, every message sent only a few minutes earlier is "burried" after tones of really old and, of course, read emails. So you have to scroll down several pages to be able to read the new email. 'Show unread' is an option, but I don't like that.


Regards,
doak

How would you like to have threaded messages sorted and collapsed?

For examle, Thunderbird shows single expand/collapse mark on top of thread, and always sorts messages in thread with parent messages above child messages (so newer are shown usually below older).
With this sorting, you'd get new messages in thread below older in same thread, even if you sort by newer messages at top of list.
Here's how it looks in Thunderbird:

This sorting and collapsing seems like reasonable option also for ProfiMail.
For simplicity, maybe threads containing unread messages could be expanded, otherwise they'd be collapsed, when entering list of messages.

I line the idea of a collapsed vie for threads, but it would be nice to have as one possible option a view that collapses already read messages, but shows new messages expanded, so I've can quickly see what's new

Hi there,

Agree.

I don't like this sort order as it breaks 'latest messages are on top' sort order. With long threads, the newest messages are always far away!
Would it be usefull to just flip the thread structure/tree horizontal *and* to sort the latest branch (the branch with the latest message) on top?
Of course, this breaks if to branches (siblings) have both new messages. But IMHO it is intuitive in most cases.

a) Just flipped horizontal:
Code:
   ┌─ Re: Thread 2              21.06.2012 08:01
   │  ┌─ Re: Thread 4a          13.11.2010 01:11
   │  │     ┌─ Re: Thread 7     08.08.2012 18:25

Thread 1                        12.11.2010 15:44

b) Now sorted: latest branch (which means branch with latest message) first:
Code:
            ┌─ Re: Thread 7     08.08.2012 18:25
         ┌─ Re: Thread 5        12.11.2010 15:47
      ┌─ Re: Thread 4           12.11.2010 15:46

   ┌─ Re: Thread 3 dup          13.11.2010 15:45
   ├─ Re: Thread 2              21.06.2012 08:01
   ├─ Re: Thread 3              12.11.2010 15:45
┌─ Re: Thread 2                 12.11.2010 15:44
Thread 1                        12.11.2010 15:44

c) Same as last example, but there is a new message 'Re: Thread 2a':
Code:
      ┌─ Re: Thread 2a          21.09.2012 11:01
   ┌─ Re: Thread 2              21.06.2012 08:01

   ├─ Re: Thread 3 dup          13.11.2010 15:45
   ├─ Re: Thread 3              12.11.2010 15:45
┌─ Re: Thread 2                 12.11.2010 15:44
Thread 1                        12.11.2010 15:44


What do you think? I guess b)/c) is the most intuitive.
The feature to collapse all read branches could be very usefull in any case.

doak
