Question about Gmail - GoFuckYourself.com

eMonk · 11-21-2008, 09:06 PM

How can I get Gmail to display messages sent by the same address on a different line rather then grouping them all together? For example, [email protected] sends me 6 emails and Gmail will group then together as somemofo (6) instead of listing them individually. How can I do this?

btw, this cams.com skin is horrible!

If they hit reply then they get grouped. If they send in seperate emails they stay seperate.

the problem is, i'm sending emails from a submission form to my gmail account. i don't want all the submissions sent by my form grouped together because they're all different users. anyway to ungroup?

Not that I am aware of but guess it could be useful in your situation. I am pretty positive that you can not do it though. Gmail auto groups by subject line. The gmail conversation function really is kind of on the stupid side AI wise.

Any way you can alter the subject line on each?

i searched gmail settings before asking here, but didn't see an option to ungroup or disable grouped messages.

It's coded in PHP so I guess I can figure something out like, "Form submission by $name".

Thanks for the tip.

you could also just run your gmail account in an actual email client

yeah, using a pop3 email client such as outlook express should also work. thanks for the help guys!

I have a way that works.

In the PHP for the submission form that generates the e-mail, modify the Header so that the From: part contains the e-mail of the person filling out the form (assuming that they provide the e-mail in the form).

Then Gmail will have the messages show up separately because they are from separate users. And you can also directly reply to the user by pressing the reply button.
