Gmail lets you ditch Conversation View if you prefer an old school inbox
A while back, Henry Blodget caused a bit of a stir by informing the world that he really wasn't a big fan of Gmail's Conversation View. At the time, however, it was love it or leave it -- Gmail didn't have an option to return to an old-fashioned, unthreaded inbox.
That's all changed, however, with Google announcing today that you can now go threadless if you so choose. Just head to your Gmail settings page, tick the 'Conversation view off' radio button, and away you go!

It's not available yet. The official announcement says it will be available in a few days.

I am with you. It's quicker to jump to different thread within the same email. It makes my inbox look clean too.

I got my gmail account in June of 2004. I can't imagine turning off conversation view at this point.

It isn't live yet. At least not in gmail for domains.
