Just for kicks: Gmail Conversation View

I’ve heard from some Outlook holdouts that they just can’t give up Conversation View and switch to Gmail.

I decided to turn off Conversation View in Gmail.

My inbox normally looks like this:

2011-01-28_020958

When I turned Conversation View off, it looked like this:

2011-01-28_020939

Really? People prefer this? Ick. I had to turn it back.

    How is that easier?!?

    I'm frustrated that my company still uses Outlook & I can't get a conversation view. :-[

    Motorola did a study when they rolled out Google Apps ... Conversation view reduces Inbox size by ~40%

    Pretty cool!

    Rebecca: Outlook (depending on your version) has a grouping by subject which replicates Conversation View. Tried it?

    @JoeTierey: ooh. I like that stat. I can't even look at the normal view without feeling a bit creeped out.
