Imagine if Gmail, Outlook, or Yahoo were incapable of grouping email conversations together. Without conversation grouping, or email threading, you might be able to sort by subject, but the software would not understand that “RE:” and “FW:” should be disregarded. The forwards would be in one group, the replies would all follow, and the original message could be anywhere. If two conversations had identical subjects, even if they were between entirely different people, you would need to manually read the email contents to discover which message belongs to which conversation.
If you had an alternative, would you ever consider using the email software described above?
It does sort of boggle the mind that there are people in the eDiscovery industry who just want to look at email in chronological order.
No, you don’t, you just don’t know how else to ask for it. It should be threaded, so that you can deal with one conversation at a time. Studies have shown, time and time again, that we work much faster when we can focus on one topic at a time. Why would we purposefully do something that makes us flit around from subject to subject on every email?

Yes, it’s cool to be able to control your house from your smartphone, or start your car from inside using it on a cold day, but…
I don’t normally go getting political online, but I just wanted to point out that this is what it looks like when a government decides certain speech can’t be tolerated. If you live in the US and are sad that our government allows speech that you don’t happen to like, and doesn’t punish people for…

I haven’t worked in the legal industry for very long, but I am familiar with the ethical practice of not double billing your time. For example, if you are typing an email to one client, while one the phone with another, you can’t bill them both for that time. Naturally, that’s to encourage you to…
