Organize By Conversation

I updated my Mac Book Pro to Yosemite 10.10 last week. I have an issue where my Organize By Conversation opens upwards. What I mean is that I've selected in preferences. most recent message at the top. which is what I want, but the way my mail worked before the update is I'd click open an email, and it would filet all emails in that Organize By Conversation window downwards. Here's the issue, I receive over 500 emails daily for my website Pilot TV Network and I have over 10,000 emails in some of my Organize By Conversation windows. When I open it, it drops to the bottom and then I have to scroll upwards and upwards and upwards, until I find the start of the thread. Someone please help, thanks, Terry

Hi it shouldn't say MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4), it's actually OS X Yosemite (10.10)
Thanks, Terry

  • Switching off "Organize by Conversation' so that it STAYS off.

    I'm constantly wrestling with the "Organize by Conversation" item in the View menu of Mail.  I turn it off in one mail box, only to find it remains on in others.  I take the time to turn it off in EACH AND EVERY mailbox, and a few minutes/hours/days later it's back on.  Any suggestions how to turn this blasted feature off in a way that it keeps it OFF?
    Thanks.

    Some idiot at Apple decided everyone needs ORGANIZE BY CONVERSATION and there is NO WAY to globally turn it off... 
    Anyone have a way to globally turn it off?
    Maybe through Terminal?

  • How to turn OFF Organize by Conversation in all mailboxes at once and set it as default?

    The Apple Mail Organize by Conversation is not working properly on Mail 6.5 on Mac with OS X 10.8.4 (Mountain Lion).
    How to turn off such Organize by Conversation in all mailboxes of at once and leave it off as default for past and new messages?

    It works doing it with one mailbox at a time, selecting it and then deselecting "View - Organize by Conversation". A real pain and clealry impractical when you have thousands of mailboxes...
    It does not work at all deselecting even all items in "Mail - Preferences - Viewing - View Conversations". After that, all the imported mailboxes have the Organize Conversation active.
    Anyone knows how to overcome this? Thanks.

  • Mail "Organize by Conversation" has blank messages

    When I click the "Organize by Conversation" in "View", all old emails are nicely organized by thread, and if I click on the 'top' part of the thread (with the triangle) I can see all of the emails, or I can click on an individual email in the thread.  If I get a new email in the thread, I can still see it in the top part, but if I click on the individual email, it shows up as just a blank grey window (the color of the background in the mail view).   Typically, when this happens, the "Unread" flag stays on, even though the mail has been read. 
    There are two ways (that I know of) to fix this once it happens:  I can uncheck/check "Organize by Conversation" or I can destroy and recreate the message viewer window (Command-W/Command-0).   When the message viewer window is recreated this way, the "unread" flag is correctly cleared.
    This most often happens with my mail account connected to an Exchange server. 
    Has anyone else seen this behavior, which seems to me to be a bug.

    Hmm, yes, I have exactly the same issue. Apple mail upgraded my IMAP account to an IMAP Exchange account, and now I have messages that stay unread until I unorganize/organize by conversation. Other devices that use IMAP do know that the message has been read...
    Any solutions anybody?

  • Organize by Conversation in Mail 6.0 not Working??

    Ever since installing Mtn Lion I have noticed a real problem using Mail 6.0 in that 'organize by conversation' seems broken compared to the last version of Apple Mail.
    Is it just me or have others noted the same problem? What I am now seeing is multiple orphaned posts on the same subject, and looking at the headers, I cannot see any difference between the orphaned posts and the ones that remained in the original conversation.

    I'm having a different problem organizing my conversations, but I think you're problem can be fixed this way.
    Open mail. Click Mail>Preferences. Click on the "Viewing". De-select the "Include related messages" box. I hope that works!

  • Why does mail insist to "organize by conversation"? I uncheck it and a few days later it is checked.

    I don't want my mail sorted by conversation yet I have to uncheck the choice every few days.... why does apple insist that you organize by conversation?  I hate it. 

    Unfortunately, something is just not right even though I pretty much always keep my Macs in good health. When I move that folder (~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail) and let it create a new one, Mail stops remembering ANY preferences. I can move and resize my windows and change my Prefs, but when I quit and relaunch Mail it goes back to some default state with none of my changes honored. Furthermore, when I search for the string "DisplayInThreadedMode" with BBEdit within that folder and all its subfolders, nothing is found.
    Maybe it has to do with how many things I disable on the recent OS X versions. I routinely disable Spotlight, Notification Center, Dashboard, Auto-Save & Versions, Gatekeeper, Automatic App Termination.... you know, all that stuff that I never asked for and don't need/want ;-)
    Maybe I could try re-enabling Auto-Save or something. Still, no other apps ever seem to behave strangely when I set all these "hidden preferences" to disable these unwanted OS features. Who knows, maybe the Mail team (programmers) just started assuming something was available which they didn't used to assume in 10.8.

  • Mac mail lion resets organize by conversation

    I just upgraded my MacBook Pro (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) to Lion and there seems to be a bug in Mail where despite my repeatedly unchecking the "organize by conversation" option, it keeps defaulting back to this.  I cannot figure out what to do to make it STAY unchecked -- I absolutely LOATHE "organize by conversation" and just want to use classic view without this and stay sorted by date received.  Can someone please help me with this?

    I found something similar to this, but I had to uncheck 'organize by conversation' for every folder. Once this was done, it stayed unchecked . But, I've just upgraded to Mountain Lion and it's worse; smart folders don't stay unchecked (neither do VIP's).
    I also tried to check 'use classic layout' in preferences, but the mail program crashes immediately I click the check box

  • Mail organize by conversation is very poorly implemented

    In Mail organize by conversation is very poorly implemented as this is based upon the subject line. There should be an option to set it by from address, to address. Generally I find that Apple's ability to categorise data i.e. iTunes store is extremely poor, they really need to make their search and categorisation capabilities for more advanced in the options available to a user.

    If I understand correctly, I am having the opposite problem:
    Messages with the same subject, but with different senders, are not consolidated into a single thread/conversation.
    For example, I receive many emails via a web form, where each message contains the same subject.  In 10.6, these messages were ALL listed as a single thread that could be expanded/collapsed.  In 10.7, they are now all separate messages in the Inbox (organized by "Conversation"), unless the same sender submitted more than once, in which case they are grouped together.  What used to be a neat and condensed display is now a very long list.
    I have just upgraded to Lion, and I have tried the various combinations of View by Conversation on/off, Include related messages on/off, etc., but I am unsure of whether this behavior is normal or not.
    So, here's my question:  When organized by Conversation, what is the criteria used to determine the threading?  and, can this be changed?
    It appears to be organized by Sender, but this post indicates otherwise.  I like Peter's suggestion.
    (And yes, I have already rebuilt the Evelope Index.)

  • OS X Mail "Organize by Conversation" & attachments icon

    I've got what seems like a minor gripe about OS X Lion Mail app's new "Organize by Conversation" view (but it's driving me crazy).
    As far as I can tell, if any email in a conversation (thread) has ever had an attachment, then OS X Lion shows the newest message in the "Organize by Conversation" view as bearing an attachment icon in the message viewer window.
    This strikes me as unhelpful. I have conversations (threads) that go back months. Just because months ago one email in the thread had an attachment, I don't want to be fooled into thinking each new message that arrives also has an attachment.
    Does anybody know if it's possible to turn this "feature" off?
    John

    True, but that misses my point. I very much like "Organize by Conversation" view. What I don't like is a particular interface feature of "O by C' view, namely that the conversation header displays the attachment icon even when an attachment is not a contemporary part of the conversation but merely occurs somewhere in the (possibly remote) history of the conversation.
    For example, one solution would be to have a greyed attachment icon if the conversation contains attachments in earlier messages only, but a black one (or a red one) if the attachment is part of the most recent message.

  • Organize by Conversation incorrectly grouping mails with same subject

    I'm having a problem with the threaded view - when I create a new email, to a brand new recipient (maybe someone I've never contacted before), if the subject line is identical to some previous email, the new email is automatically added to the "Conversation".
    So, for example, I have just sent an email to a client with the subject "Timesheets".  After sending it, I see in my outbox that this has been joined to a previous email I sent about 3 years ago to a completely separate client, in which the subject line was also "Timesheets".
    Unfortunately, I don't see that this has happened until after I've sent the email, so is there a way to fix this without turning off the "Organize by Conversation" feature altogether?

    Time goes on and nothing from Apple
    Don't they follow our worries?
    I have Mail 6.3 and OS X 10.8.3 - the most updated versions and still the THREADS DON'T WORK as in Snow Leopard mail.
    I use mail to work, have hundreds os multiple threads now

  • Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 to Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer catalog conversion

    I'm having trouble converting Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 catalog to Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer.  I get a Conversion Failed error which tells me to repair with the program that created it.  I have tried several things including deleting all .avi files from the catalog, deleting references to missing files and backing up then trying to convert from an external HD.  I'm running Vista Home Premium on a HP laptop.  The Organizer optimize and repair don't seem to help in this case.
    Does anyone have any history with this or advice?

  • Organize by conversation is not working properly after upgrade to Lion

    After upgrading from 10.6 to 10.7 I've figured out that Mail Application is not very accurate with organizing by conversation. Mail from Snow Leopard was pretty nice. But after upgrade it started to make several conversation. This is very annoying especially when I'm working with support tickets.
    Here is one of the example:
    Mail 10.7 ( Lion )
    [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
    [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
    RE: [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
    RE: [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
    [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
    [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
    Mail 10.6 ( Snow Leopard )
    [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
    [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
    RE: [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
    RE: [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
    [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
    [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
    I also tried Mozilla Thunderbird. It is organizing by thread very accurate.
    Is there any way how to configure this in Mail? May be I'm doing something wrong?
    I like all new features of new Mail programm, but it wi very annoying.
    Thanks,
    Shony.

    Hi Sundar & Rakesh
    I've followed Sundar's request in the previous thread we worked on together to provide further assistance here:
    ** Scenario Summary **
    The portal Work protect mode value is set to '3' ("Choose action in popup on unsaved data") When we edit a standard ESS java Web Dynpro application and click exit, the portal should show us the Work protect mode popup. Instead, the portal exits to the overview page and when we try to navigate away from the overview page, it shows the work protect mode window. This was working fine before upgrade to SAP NW 7.4 SP 5.
    Ok the first point of reference and analysis here is to check and review: Workprotect mode via the following navigation path:
    System Admin-> System Configuration -> Service Configuration -> Under one of the services: Work protect mode property.
    Now in terms of this popup kindly ensure the configurations are setup accordingly as per the following document:
    http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-2513
    What is the setting of WDPortalWorkProtectMode.setApplicationDirty ?
    Work Protect Mode
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/45/b76f4169e25858e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
    Lastly have you attempted to change the property value and restarting the service ?
    Restart the config by right clicking on com.sap.portal.epcf.loader. Click Administrate ->restart
    Kindly update me as per your findings.
    Kind Regards

  • Mail organize by conversation mixup

    I found there have mixup of over hundred by the organise by conversation function. Could I really organise those and fix the one that not belong to the conversation?
    Or where I could setup for the rules that belongs on the same conversation or not?

  • Can (or How Does) "Organize by conversations" cause Beach Balls of Death?

    Ok, I will be upfront here... This is driving me MAD!
    I have been using Mac for over 10 years now (since OS 9) and this is the FIRST time that I have ever seen these types of problems.
    Mail is hanging all the time and causing all sorts of jams.
    THE CURRENT PROBLEM
    I say "current" because I have fixed some of the problems I was having before this current one showed up (which I will explain later).
    As for the current problem, it is this:
    Everytime I select an email "conversation" that has an attachment in the thread (conversation) I get a beach ball that takes about 15 seconds to go away. I am not able to do anything in Mail once this happens. I just have to wait for the ball to go away and for the conversation to be accessible. Just for the record, I also have "Show Related Messages" turned on as well (so that I can see my "Sent" messages in the conversation as well).
    What I have done so far...
    1.) Vaccumed the Envelope Index file in the Terminal with: sqlite3 ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope\ Index vacuum;
    This lead to a decrease in the size of the Index file and did make a noticable overall improvement in Mail.
    2.) After that, I tried actually removing the following files from the User Library --> Mail folder: “DefaultCounts”, “Envelope Index” and “LSMMap”.
    Again, this clearly lead to improvements, but I am still having the "Conversations with an attachment present" problem. The beach ball appears, and I just wait and wait and wait... Very frustrating when someone is asking for information and you are just sitting there like an idiot.
    Need to get back to work here!
    Anyone???

    Update:
    Interesting! It is not all Conversations that have attachments that are the problem, only certain ones. Can't figure out what the issue is. But the beach ball still appears and I am stuck whenever I click on those particular email Conversations.
    The unique characteristic of the problematic Conversation is that it has two attachments in the Conversation: one PDF file in one email, and a .ics calendar file in another email in the Conversation.
    That is all I can say...
