Please make "conversations" view optional

amused commented
It amuses me that when I check to see what new features are being suggested, there are always new threads asking for conversation view to be made optional.
A quick search shows:

In contrast the original thread asking for conversation view to be added only received 280 votes, in the 11 months it took to complete the feature.
Of course there are more users now then there were back then. Still, I hope it doesn't take another 11 months for them to complete this requested / started feature.

the option to turn on/off conversation mode is the only reason I have not signed up for the paid version. The conversation view is aggravating at best.

It seems like many people have asked for this so I just don't understand why it has not been implemented. I understand that you can use v2 of protonmail but this is not really a long term solution. All I want is a simple on/off switch for conversation mode.

Please make this a reality. I have to scan in documents to myself frequently and even though they are related to completely different matters they all end up in the same thread. This is the one and only reason I will have to stop using protonmail if it isn't changed.

What's taking so long to make that switchable??

Okay, we're closing in on six months since The Team started on this issue; am I mistaken that this 'conversation view' was introduced in a previous revision?
...sometimes it's better to just pull the chute and start fresh rather than to try to re-integrate old uncooperative code from a previous revision. I'm not saying that this is what's happening, but if it is...
Regardless, this a very popular Change Request that I think it should be taken quite seriously and in a more timely manner.
Cheers

I absolutely agree. The grouping of emails issues is actually making me reconsider my decision to use Protonmail. Don't get me wrong, it's a great service, but I suppose it's like owning a two-seat sports car despite having a 5 person family; when it's just me it's the greatest thing ever, but when I need to try to take all the kids with me, It's a nightmare and make me regret owning it. Please remedy.

Threaded feedback is great as an option, but of course it should be an OPTION!

Agreed - grouped conversations makes the emails difficult to deal with, and tags get overlapped, negating their purpose

Thank you for your feedback. We are working on adding an option to turn off conversation view within version 3.</quote>
Really? Taken the fact that "(y)our feedback" has been asking for an option to turn it off ever since the roll out of v3.0, can you share with us what for emotional commitment there is within ProtonMail that prevents the installment/ return of a base design element that has been perfectly fine in the years before v3.0?

100% agree with this request. I was preparing to make one myself when I discovered this.
This elementary option for any decent email client which should be the default existed in versions 1-2. Why it dissappeared? Bring it back, please.
Conversations are killing the organization and general perspective of my emails.

I can find no option to disable conversation view within protonmail vs 3.0... could the team please inform us when this will be possible. Until then I will not migrate entirely to protonmail.
