We have grouped some of the most used systems to understand their advantages and disadvantages and spark ideas on possible solutions to old problems.
Email threading UI has undergone significant improvements in the past five years. Modern email clients now offer more intuitive and visually appealing thread displays, with clearer hierarchies and improved readability. A notable advancement is the shift towards displaying newer emails at the top of threads, aligning with the chronological order of timelines and matching users' natural reading patterns.
Here a quick threading overview of some of the most used software
Thunderbird (version 128.6.0esr)
The visual selection is clear, and there's a nice timeline graph on the left. I expected to find indentation for second-level threading, but it remains at one level.
About the threading behavior:
- Thunderbird displays threads with the original message at the top level, and subsequent emails within the thread are rendered from oldest to newest.
- The threading view can be toggled on or off for individual folders.
- Thunderbird does not currently offer an option to sort conversations in reverse order within a thread
The subject seems to appear on all messages under the same thread. I'm asking myself whether it is necessary or if it clutters the space without much point.
