Stock e-mail app Thread/Coversation view gone?

[davidwilling]

I have a S6 Edge and prior to Marshmallow I was able to choose between thread/conversation view or just all the emails in one long list, the has now gone which is a real pain as my work emails involve huge discussions between a great many people! Does anybody else have this issue? I've googled it and all I get is regarding how to disable this on the Gmail app. My stock email is used for my work email which is a MS Exchange using ActiSync. If anybody uses a different email app that has the thread view, then I would appreciate your thoughts on which email app is best for you.

This is not exactly what you asked, but for a great Exchange/ActiveSync mail app give Nine a try: https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...details?id=com.ninefolders.hd3&token=G0m-dsZs

And, yes, it does conversation view.

Try out this one, check out the screenshot, Blue Mail In my opinion is one of the best email app.

Aquamail is a great email app. They just added conversation view.

The developer is very responsive and updates frequently.

Anyone knows if there is a fix for the stock email app?

Do you have the 'thread' button on the bottom-right? This shows a conversation-style email thread. Not sure if thats what you're looking for, but I think thats the closest to a 'thread' style you can get with the stock email app.

I had the same problem and I just figure out this solution for S7 but it's the same in my S6.

On Galaxy S7 Email, I cannot search for conversation view option. Doesn't Galaxy S7 support the conversation view mode for email lists?

It happens that you see a 'thread' option when you already open an email that has conversations associated and then you chosse that option it open the full messages in conversation.

Try it.

I have a more interesting issue. I see the thread button with a count, but when I tap it, nothing ever happens! All the other buttons on the bottom row work - reply, forward, delete. My swipes work both left and right (be nice if I could switch those in options though). Seems like everything is normal except that Thread button just won't click - tried in portrait and landscape so it's not like that corner of the touchscreen is dead.

I've rebooted a bunch of times, but I'm not really looking forward to wiping the phone. My email app likely has a bug in it or is misconfigured (or both). I have not found anyone else reporting this issue on the web, but then again searching for the word "thread" is a real issue with forums using that word plentifully.
My stock email is version 3.3.17 on a Samsung Galaxy S6 Active. In the application manager I don't have any options to clear cache for that app.

I have the same issue. Thread button not working.
Email v. 3.3.17 - Galaxy S6 Edge
Any suggestion?

Nothing yet, I've tried a couple other apps like Blue and Outlook, but I kinda like the stock app better - other than the malfunction.

Same issue for me. Thread button shows a number but nothing happens.

Any luck with fixing this??

I try this and it worked on mine.
Go to Security -- other security setting - device administrator - turn off email
This will erase all mail account.
After that go to Applications -- Application manager -- Email -- Storage -- Clear both Data and Cache
Open Email app again and set up account again. Thread button should work.

What if I press the "thread" button and nothing happens? How do I get back to see all the emails in the thread?
