The very first thing I do anytime I set up a new email client is switch off threaded view so I can see the individual messages. I find it more hassle than it's worth. I prefer to keep specific messages in my inbox related to what I need to do (as my inbox is essentially my to do list) and just archive all other messages especially the meaningless replies which only add noise to the conversation. I shudder when I see other people's inboxes with threads of 100+ messages where they have to scroll and scroll to find the specific message they need. While I already have that specific message stored in my inbox for quick reference.
