Gmail thread limitation
Gmail has a few limitations when it comes to threads, which can be frustrating at times. Here are some of the known limitations:
- Thread length limit: Gmail has a maximum thread length of 25,000 messages. If a thread exceeds this limit, it will be split into multiple threads.
- Thread nesting limit: Gmail has a maximum nesting depth of 10 levels. This means that if a thread has more than 10 levels of replies, it will be split into multiple threads.
- Thread size limit: Gmail has a maximum thread size of 10 MB. If a thread exceeds this limit, it will be split into multiple threads.
- Search results limit: When searching for threads, Gmail returns a maximum of 1,000 results. If you need to search for more threads, you'll need to use advanced search operators or use a third-party add-on.
- Thread sorting limit: Gmail allows you to sort threads by date, subject, or sender, but it only shows the most recent 1,000 messages in each thread.
- Thread labeling limit: Gmail allows you to label up to 50 threads at a time. If you need to label more threads, you'll need to use a third-party add-on or create multiple labels.
- Thread filtering limit: Gmail allows you to filter up to 50 threads at a time. If you need to filter more threads, you'll need to use a third-party add-on or create multiple filters.
It's worth noting that these limitations are in place to prevent abuse and ensure that Gmail remains a reliable and efficient email service. However, if you're experiencing issues with thread management, you may want to consider using third-party add-ons or workarounds to help you manage your threads more effectively.
