How do I get rid of "conversation view" in the gmail app on my phone? I hate that gmail lumps all the emails into 1 from the same sender making it difficult to find emails when needed.
Is there any way to turn this off on the gmail app? I know how to turn it off when using gmail on my computer, just not the app...
Thanks
No way to do this. If its that much of a turnoff use stock email apk from aosp or my personal favourite, k9mail

The Gmail app is not integrated with HTC's People app and I doubt if it will be as it is proprietary Google code and not part of android. If you want to see your Gmail show up, you should add it as an exchange/imap/pop account using the regular mail app. I have both the Gmail app as well as an imap account for my Gmail. That way, I can see my gmail under people and have the convenience of push email with the gmail app without drawing too much battery.
While I think the Google Mail app is ALRIGHT I think it needs quite some improvement so I am wondering if there is either a good alternative to it or if someone added features to it / modded it.
1) problem:
i can't select any text from any emails (written by others or myself) which isn't too great when writing emails.
is there any app for selecting text maybe? it's something i miss a lot on android. if i want to select text on a website I need to switch to Skyfire.
I just can't believe coding a text selection is really hard so I don't understand why google didn't add it themselves yet.
2) problem:
when I'm on the go and sending an email and the CONNECTION dies for a moment the Google Mail app will be stuck at "Sending..."
I guess it is stuck in a loop then and it won't send out my email but I also can't go back so I can only close Google Mail with a taskmanager.
Can't this be fixed, too?
I just want a GO BACK feature so that it won't get stuck in a loop. Maybe just an automatic Save Draft just when someone clicks Send and then goes to the Send process and then you get the option to force close that and just go back- I dont know.
not sure what phone you have or what apps come standard so.....
i dont use the gmail app period. turned off notifications and disabled gmail sync in the sync menu. I use the regular Mail app that came standard (HTC Hero) for all 3 of my email accounts, yahoo, gmail, and hotmail. never have any problems out of it.
EDIT: Mail app will select text and if connection dies when sending mail, it will pick up where it left off when the next scheduled sync takes place.

I too use the default mail app (this time CM6 on a nexus1), but if you don't like that one you might want to check out K9 Mail. I think its free from the market (or various places online if you don't have access/market enabler).

oh nice. k9 lets me select and copy text. im convinced. installed it and got rid of gmail.
I know a work around is to set the same gmail account in your email app. But imo that's kind of duplicate and potentially could cause conflict or redundant data in your contact/calendar/email.
So, by any chance, is there a way we can simply make the email app to also show that gmail account without adding that account again in email app? Since when we activate the phone, this account is already there registered on our phones... gmail app can capture it, why not email app? just some thoughts...
Why would you want to do this? I just use the gmail app

I agree, you would lose all the functionality of Gmail if you did this...
The gmail app gives you push notifications. If you use the email app it will effect your battery life depending on how often you set it to poll.
Does anybody know how to adjust the following.
When i open Gmail i see it only loaded about 6 emails and then it will load more.
After a while or after a reboot i see its again only about 6 and when i open it it loads the rest. (i can also see this in the gmail widget.)
Is there a way to set a default so i will always sync like the latest 50 emails?
I would like this because when i dont have a wifi connection around and i want to check one of the emails i seen before, i cant because it didnt load that much.
hope you understand what i mean.
I think it syncs a specific time frame. If you want to view them off-line you can add gmail to the stock email app (either as Exchange or as imap).

Whats the difference between using gmail app or the email app?
accept for it storing the emails on the device?
any functions that differ or sync posibilities etc?
i like the gmail app, just want it to store more emails for offline use
Gmail app only works with gmail and is actively developed by google. The mail app is a android stock email app customised by the manufactures. Beside the offline storage you can use them the same way but you could also pull the mail instead of pushing.

I don't think it can be done on the Gmail app.
But I think you can disable it via browser, and use the email app (not gmail app) to set up your account. From here, you should see it disabled.

I wish there were away to turn off conversation view in the app. I have it turned off in webmail to no effect in the app. Conversation view can get cumbersome if you're trying to deal with select messages that are bundled with 50 others.
gmail IOS Conversation Mode

Agree 100%. Surely there has to be a way to turn this off. Even native IOS mail allows it boths ways. Ive seen posts on this for over a year - is this feature technically impossible????
