Group emails into conversations

You can choose whether replies to emails are grouped in conversations, or if each email shows up in your inbox separately. 

Choose your conversation settings

When people reply to an email, Gmail groups responses together in conversations with the newest email on the bottom.

A conversation breaks off into a new conversation if the subject line changes or the conversation gets to more than 100 emails. You can customize conversations for your account or for individual IMAP/POP accounts per device.
