If you aren’t sure what conversation view is, look at this snip of Gmail. Although each email is separate and was sent at a different time, Gmail automatically groups them together in a single thread. This lets you easily keep track of conversations. The Thunderbird Conversation add-on mimics this behavior for Mozilla Thunderbird.
Set Up Conversation View
Open Thunderbird and click the Tools » Add-ons menu option.
At the top right of the add-ons manager, type: conversations. The first result should be Thunderbird Conversations. Click Install.
You’ll need to restart Thunderbird to complete installation.
After Thunderbird is restarted, Thunderbird conversations brings up a Setup Assistant. You can straight away apply changes or review them. I recommend just leaving it at the defaults. It might take a minute for the add-on to configure, but once it is done, you’re good to go.
Now you can enjoy threaded conversations views and an overall improved and organized folder experience.
