Using Gmail via your favorite web browser is great….unless you hate conversation view. Scanning through an inbox in conversation view can be an adjustment for those who’ve spent decades seeing a whole new line for each reply to a conversation. Google’s finally giving Gmail users the option to go back to the delight of seeing dozens of copies of the same subject line fill up their inboxes. 
With a single click of a radio button, you’ll soon be able to turn off conversation view. This is far from revolutionary, but I like the flexibility. I know quite a few people who’ve given Gmail a shot, but gave up after being flustered by conversation view. Those that use Outlook and other popular emails will probably appreciate the consistency.

Then why use GMail? lol
Thank god. I sincerely despise conversation view. I dont know how many times I’ve tried with an open mind, then given up on Gmail because of it. Thanks for the heads up! (navigating to gmail to change setting)
