Conversation View "See More" Feature

I really like the new Conversation View in Mail for Lion, and the See More feature is great, but isn't their a way to "See Less" after the message expands? I just want to collapse the message again without having to click out of the thread and back in again. It seems as if there would be an easy way to do this, but I can't seem to find it. Thanks.

I have the same issue. I tried to live with it, but it is really way too annoying. I am surprised at a lack of new features in the settings pane. If enough peolpe turn if off it probably isnt a good idea right?
This one needs to go.

HT1277 message view see more

I would like to change my viewing preferences in Mail so that when I click to open a message it will display the entire message as a whole rather than a bunch of "see more" links. Does anyone know how I can do this? Thanks

How can I see more than 6 all day events in the week view without scrolling?

How can I see more than 6 all day events in the week view without scrolling? I need to see all of my all day events at once. I use this for scheduling and comparing of # invoices. Going back and forth to scroll is cumbersome. I just want to be able to expand the top section so I can see everything at once.

Any ideas, anyone?

¿How can I see more than a day in the calendar view of the notification center?

Hi guys! I wanna know if there's any option to see more than a day in the calendar view of the notication center. I swear I saw a friend of mine who could see more than a day in the notification center.
Than

In Settings > Notification Center, try turning "on" all the six buttons under "Today View". Also turn "on" the top two buttons under "Access on Lock Screen". Doing that should show you "Tomorrow" at the bottom of Noticiation Center.

Can no longer see messages in public folders in Outlook (2010) conversation view

(originally posted this under MS Community outlook discussion and it was suggested I post it here):
Hello:
I believe this may be related to a recent update, but previously I could see messages from public folders in my conversation view. Now, I am only able to see messages in private folders (including sent items).
I have the cached exchange mode on.
I loved the conversation view because I could move e-mails out of my inbox to public folders (on our company server) to keep my inbox under required size limits, but still have easy access to e-mails within the conversation string. That view in my
opinion was the best upgrade to Outlook when it first came out. Now it's virtually useless for me again.
If there's something i can change to get those messages re-appearing again I'd really love to know what I can do, it was really useful for me.
Thanks in advance to any who reply!

Hi,
Based on the descrtiption, I know that there is no emails exist in public folder when using conversation view in Outlook after installing update.
1. I suggest use OWA to check whether emails exist in public folder when using Conversation View. If it works well, it seems an issue on the Outlook client side.
2. Please check the connectivity between Outlook and Public Folder.
3. I suggest disable conversation view for test to verify whether emails appear in public folder. If the emails appear, it seems an issue on Outlook Conversation View.
4. I also suggest run Outlook under safe mode to avoid some AVs and add-ins. Try to re-create profile to refresh the caches.
Thanks

In Conversation View is there any way to see my own contributions to the conversation?

That is pretty much it!
When in Conversation view I would like to be able to see my own emails as well, so I know what people are replying to, is this possible?

Based on what wikipedia said for iOS 5 you will be able to purchase text tones. SO you will have to wait till then. Hopefully someone will release an app to create your own much like they have now.

Last time I updated pages I lost features I liked and was unable to open some pages files. Now I see the features I liked are back but I have a lot more files to worry about. Will I be able to open files created in 5.2 if I upgrade to 5.5.3?

Last time I updated pages I lost features I liked and was unable to open some pages files. Now I see the features I liked are back but I have a lot more files to worry about. Will I be able to open files created in 5.2 if I upgrade to 5.5.3?

Within reason, Pages v5.2 documents are forwards compatible with Pages v5.5.3. Apple introduced the single file format document as a default with Pages v5.5.3 which is not backwards compatible with Pages v5 on Mavericks.
However, they also provided a File > Advanced > Change File Type > {Single File, Package} menu that allows you to change the current Pages v5.5.3 document into the backwards compatible Package type document. You would follow this transformation with a File > Save operation to complete it.

In contacts why did they change the search view we used to be able to see more contacts per screen?

I have used a 7520 and an 8700 now I have an 8300 and I am sad to say the contacts view looks more like pocket pc then the traditional easy to see blackberry view where you could see many contacts easy on the screen . The old way when you were searching for a contact the search results would show one line per contact instead of the contact taking up two lines...when viewing on the screen. when you can view one contact per line you can see more contacts is there a way to get back to the old view where you would see one line per contact when keyword searching in contacts?

Feedback on Outlook 2010 Conversations View

Outlook 2010 Conversations view is a great idea, but the Beta implementation has a few usability problems which prevent the feature from being successful-- if I had to use the feature in RTM in its current Beta state, I'd probably turn it off. But fixing it seems not too difficult-- there are only a handful of very annoying usability issues I've found so far. It'd be great to see the issues below addressed in RTM.
1) Keyboard Navigation shouldn't cause auto-expansion. When using the keyboard arrow keys to scroll through my inbox, Outlook will auto-expand the selected conversation. The result is that scrolling with the keyboard is like playing whack-a-mole, with conversations expanding and collapsing seemingly at random. This prevents effective reading of message titles and auto-previews. The same thing sometimes happens when I delete a conversation and the following conversation is selected. In either case, you should *never* auto-expand a conversation unless I press ENTER or right-arrow on a selected conversation. For mouse selection, auto-expansion seems more reasonable since you're not doing mouseclick-mouseclick-mouseclick in sequence like you do from the keyboard when reading and deleting messages.
2) Converation "From" is confusing. Your "From" field shows any unread senders only, and shows all senders if all messages are unread. I'd expect to see all senders in both cases. What's even worse is when you use auto-preview and the most recent message is already read. In that case, you'll see auto-preview text from the most recent (read) message but see a sender(s) of older messages. You'll see User-X's name as sender of User-Y's AutoPreview text. Weird!
3) minor thing: double-click of a collapsed conversation opens the newest message. Once it's expanded, double-click doesn't do anything. It should behave the same in both cases.
4) If you hit up arrow or down arrow to select a conversation, then quickly hit ENTER to open the top message in the conversation, it doesn't do anything. If you do the same thing but wait one second, before pressing ENTER, it will open the newest message. Behavior should be the same in both cases.
5) When I use up/down arrow to select a message with auto-preview showing, sometimes the auto-preview will vanish and sometimes it won't. This is really disconcerting since my eyes need to jump upwards several lines to see what just got expanded. If something is there when the thread is collapsed, it should stick around when it's expanded. Oddly, I don't see this behavior for all conversations-- some will stay showing auto-preview, some won't. Perhaps only one-line auto-previews stick around while 2-3 line autopreviews are hidden upon expansion?
6) When I right-click on a collapsed conversation, I'd expect to see "reply" or "reply-all" options (meaning reply to the topmost message in that conversation) but instead I need to separately select the message to reply to.
Other than these gripes, I think conversations view is definitely headed in the right direction. Nice work!
BTW, I already posted this feedback to the Office 2010 blog, but I got no responses there so am posting here so my feedback won't get lost.

Thanks Diane for the quick reply! Some follow-up notes:
1. Cool! This is exactly the behavior I was looking for. Once I clicked the checkbox in Options, the behavior is much more predictable when using the keyboard. It's a bummer this setting is not easier to discover. Seems like this should be the default setting. Note that there's a display bug when this option is selected-- I sometimes see odd visual artifacts after I collapse a thread with the keyboard, e.g. rectangles which aren't painted correctly or show up as gray boxes.
2. Nope, you didn't understand correctly. :-) The problematic scenario is where there are some unread and some read messages in a conversation. In that case, the autopreview text shows for the most recent message in the thread (regardless of whether it's read or not) but the "From" field shows the senders of the unread branches only. The result is you can see a sender of one message showing up above the autopreview text for a totally different message. This is weird. And then once you read the last unread message, all the senders come back in the From field, so reading one message causes From to show 10 senders where before it showed only one.
After using it for a while, I like the auto-preview behavior of always showing the most recent message in auto-preview, even if that particular message is read. I also like the behavior of continuing to show auto-preview until all branches of the thread are read. What I don't like is the "From" behavior showing a varying number of senders depending on what's read vs. not. Instead, I'd like to see "From" show all the senders on the thread, in order of recency (most recent branches should show up at the front of From). Extra credit if unread senders show up bold and read senders unbold, but I'd also be OK with all senders showing up bold if the mixed boldness is too hard.
3. try double-clicking on the name (the top line) of an expanded conversation. the double-click doesn't do anything. it should collapse the conversation-- the reverse of what happens when you double-click on a collapsed conversation.
4. doesn't matter now that I have a solution for #1! :-)
5. not a big deal now that I have a solution for #1.
6. This was a bad choice for cleanup: reply is the probably most common (after delete!) operation you want to do on a conversation! Certainly more common than printing or quick steps or the other random things remaining in that context menu. Anyway, thanks for the tip-- I always use right-click for replies, didn't think to use keyboard.
> FWIW, most people don't like the conversation view.
Hmmm. Now that I know about the keyboard no-expand setting, I like Conversations a lot more! If the Office folks can fix the From field issue (#2 above), then the feature will be, to me at least, good enough for RTM.
But assuming these usability quirks get fixed, I really do need this feature. I get hundreds of messages per day and without Conversations I'd have a much harder time dealing with the incoming load-- this is a feature I've been needing for years. I also really like the ability to see my Sent items on the same Conversation without making a trip to Advanced Find.
FWIW, Conversations (assuming the usability issues get addressed) is literally the only feature of Office 2010 that would justify the upgrade price for me. The other improvements in Outlook and the other Office apps are nice, but Conversations saves me several minutes every day... and that productivity adds up quickly!

Mail conversation view

Hi,
In Conversation view i only see the replies to my emails, not my replies itself as part of the conversations.
When i click "See more from Jay" it unfolds into regular old style mail message.
This worked very well in the beta versions and the GM but i can not get it to work in the app store released version.
Clean install was done.
Any suggestions or ideas?
Thanks,
Jay

Hi
I have this problem on Mail OSX 10.10 Yosemite...
My own replied messages do not show you even when I I check "include related messages".
Has this feature changed?
I would like to see my own replied messages in conversation view. Not only the messages from form others. It creates a gap in the communication chain view.
Any ideas?
Tnx, Ide

"Conversation" View in SMS Text Messages

I am unable to change the settings in SMS text options to 'conversation' view. I followed the instructions on this help page but I didn't even havesome of the buttons that were mentioned. My other BB's (9300, Bold 9000) defaulted to conversation view. This is making me crazy!! Each new text has a new, seperate window. ALSO--does anyone know how to download music from your PC to your BB? My PC won't even register that I have a device plugged in. W_T_H!!!

While you can have SMS (and MMS) messages NOT listed in the Messages folder, the only way to see only SMS messages in the Messages folder is to run a search. You can save searches and assign an [Alt] key combination to execute the search, and as far as I know, ALL BlackBerries come with [Alt]S set as a Saved Search that will display only SMS messages.
You can read more about using Saved Searches here:

How to enable mail trail lines in Outlook 2013 conversation view

I was wondering if this feature still exists in Outlook 2013.
In Outlook 2010, when using conversation view, you can see the trail lines showing the "conversation tree". Please see the first image at the following link (can't post direct link or image as my account, though should be, is not verified): office.microsoft{dot}com/en-gb/outlook-help/view-email-messages-by-conversation-HA010362041.aspx
The closest feature in Outlook 2013 is Use classic indented view in Conversation Settings but it only indents the messages.

So, what exactly is the benefit of Outlook 2013? As far as I can tell all they've done is let me see less mail (because the fonts are gigantic now), ruin the interface (with all the color and icons gone it's harder to find things), ruin the text rendering
(some parts use ClearType and some ignore it), and remove features (search from start menu, conversation threads line, etc).
I get it, now it looks like a phone, because obviously smartphone email is what we should aspire to. A+ work.

Seeing more than 7 emails in inbox

I can only see the 7 most recent messages in my Inbox for an imap account. How can I view more? If I select the Conversation view, I can scroll down a very long list. Why in Inbox view, only 7 and no ability to scroll?

Pearson100,
Thanks for your inquiry. The phone should definitely be able to hold more than 7 emails. I just want to have you check a few settings. First, open your Mail, then go to Menu>More>Settings>Receive Settings>Download past mail. Make sure that is the maximum setting. It may be set to only get email for one day. Then go back to your email, to see if it starts automatically refreshing. If not, press Menu>Refresh.

Conversation view not grouping all related messages - Outlook 2010

Hello, I have 2010 and just started a new job with a new laptop...so the first thing I did was go straight to Outlook to setup my Conversation View, along with all other rules and such I had before. However, it's not working properly. First off,
it's not including all my sent messages in conversations...only SOME of the time.
Second, and more importantly, it's creating more than one Conversation for each group of messages. I tried to include a screenshot below, but it wont let me because I just signed up so I'll describe it. There are two conversation groups for 'My First
Expense Report' with Brenda. The first conversation is when she first replied to my message. The second separate conversation started with my response to her reply, and then her second reply. These should be grouped together!
Brenda and I are the only two people in the thread, and the emails happened today. This is worse than not having conversation view at all, because I'll see a conversation and think all messages are there...but they're not, they're in some other conversation
for some unknown reason.
It's driving me crazy as an avid Outlook user. This didn't happen to me on the same version in my old job and I'm afraid I'll miss important stuff. Can anyone help?

Hi,
Since I don't know your detailed view settings, I suggest you exit Outlook first, then start Outlook with the switch "cleanviews":
Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /cleanviews” in the blank box, then press Enter.
Then re-set the Conversation View to try again:

Additionally, do you use Exchange 2003 or Exchange 2007? There are some known issues with Outlook 2010 & Exchange 2003 or Exchange 2007:

Conversation view useless in Mail

I posted a version of this question before but am asking again as there was no response. Conversation view in Mail only displays the last sender's name in the "From" field. This is very confusing and makes it hard to find messages. If you CC yourself, messages are displayed as "From" you. iOS Mail, various web mail's, and other applications display several senders making it much easier to find the message you are looking for. Am I the only one who sees this as a flaw? I like Mail but this is a deal breaker for work email. I have to use the web mail interface (which displays multiple senders in conversation view) and is actually OK.
--David

I did a little more research into this.
It seems that this problem has troubled people even before Yosemite. For some reason Apple's not getting the definition of a thread correctly (OK, it might be tricky but still...) and it's just getting worse instead of better. In my case Yosemite's Mail is joining threads that are obviously unrelated. Somebody there needs to put some "I" into their "AI"...
Yes, if you uncheck the "include related emails" then your replies are taken out of the conversation which is annoying.
I wish they would add an option to specify to Mail: this email is not part of the conversation and alternatively this email is.
As a bandaid I customized the toolbar adding the "Conversation" and "Show/Hide Related Messages" icons. Most of the time I set both to off. When I quickly want to look at the whole thread I click the "Show/Hide" icon (and yes, it still brings unrelated messages if those were added to the thread) and/or the "Conversation" icon. It's not elegant but it works in the sense that I can see the whole thread when I need to and I don't risk missing any messages as mentioned above.
