By default, Gmail groups a message and its replies in a conversation that’s listed as a single inbox entry. Conversation threads are the recommended way to manage your email; they provide a fast, efficient way to see multiple related messages in one view. However, if you prefer to list messages separately, you can turn Conversation view off. You can switch back at any time. Note: Certain Gmail features (such as Snooze) are only available if Conversation view is on.
