so you can now turn off conversation mode in Gmail on the PC side. i don't think you can do this yet on the Android side. i hope they add this feature on the Android side.
anybody else interested?

Just because Google designed it that was doesn't mean that's how most people prefer it. Every other email service on the face of the planet sorts email by date and lists them individually. While grouping by conversations is a nice to have feature, it shouldn't be the default setting, IMO. Since it is the default setting, being able to turn it off and make it work like all other email interfaces would be nice. As mentioned the option is available for the web mail interface. So, why is it not available on my phone? Shouldn't an email app provide you with your emails in whatever format/view you prefer???
Every other email app on the planet provides a way to group email into threaded conversations.
It's the only rational way to deal with lots of mail.
You are arguing against dresser drawers and closets, and championing a heap of clothing in the corner of your bedroom floor.

I'm using K-9 Mail rather than the Gmail app for this very reason (so I can delete a single message in a conversation). I really find it hard to believe that this option is not available in the Gmail app but I sure can't find it.Simply prefer the traditional view.
Even if I'm forced to go conversation mode on the device, I'd at least like the ability to delete a single item in the conversation.
Turning off conversation mode speaks to a basic misunderstanding on how Gmail works, and generally messes up a lot of things.
With mailing lists its a nightmare having it turned off. Even with regular family and friends it makes no sense to have to hunt around for a prior message just to find out what they told you previously. So much quoting could be avoided if people would just use gmail as intended.
Archive, never delete.
