We have grouped some of the most used systems to understand their advantages and disadvantages and spark ideas on possible solutions to old problems.

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.
