True Threaded Conversations in Thunderbird

[MichaelTunnell]

At the moment, #Thunderbird does not have true threaded conversations but more a simplistic form of threading where it only takes received emails and groups them together. Thunderbird needs true threaded conversations (which includes your own sent emails) built-in by default. Conversations is a feature that is available by default in most modern email clients like GMail, Outlook, and more so the lack of this feature in Thunderbird really stands out as missing something critical.

Here is an addon that tries to compensate for Thunderbird not having this feature but this has issues of its own. https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/gmail-conversation-view/

Thunderbird used to be the go to email client for recommending but now it is far behind in modern features. I think this is one of those features that Thunderbird needs to compete in the current modern email client space.

Unfortunately, this feature is keeping me from switching from Gmail to Thunderbird. Hoping that it will be implemented soon! 🤞

Just being able to jump straight to the reply, which i wrote, would be such a big improvement. Currently i see the mail that was sent to me and it is marked with a small reply arrow (which is helpful). But that's it. I'm stuck at "here is a mail and you replied some whatever". Frustrating.
A native thread view would be the best solution, that's why I'm commenting here.
