How to unthread emails

Unthreading emails refers to the process of removing the thread or conversation structure from an email conversation, so that each email appears as a standalone message rather than as part of a larger conversation. Here are a few ways to unthread emails:

Method 1: Using the "Unthread" feature in Gmail

1. Log in to your Gmail account.
2. Open the email conversation you want to unthread.
3. Click on the three vertical dots at the top right corner of the conversation.
4. Select "Unthread" from the dropdown menu.
5. Confirm that you want to unthread the conversation.

Method 2: Using the "Unthread" feature in Outlook

1. Log in to your Outlook account.
2. Open the email conversation you want to unthread.
3. Click on the "Unthread" button located at the top of the conversation.
4. Confirm that you want to unthread the conversation.

Method 3: Using a third-party email client or add-on

There are several third-party email clients and add-ons that offer unthreading features. For example:

• Sanebox: A Gmail add-on that allows you to unthread emails with a single click.
• Boomerang: A Gmail add-on that offers a range of features, including unthreading.
• SaneBlackHole: A Gmail add-on that allows you to unthread emails and also delete them.

Method 4: Using a keyboard shortcut

Some email clients, such as Gmail, offer keyboard shortcuts for unthreading emails. For example:

• In Gmail, you can use the keyboard shortcut "u" to unthread an email conversation.

Note: Unthreading emails may not always be possible, especially if the conversation has been heavily replied to or if the emails are stored in a non-threaded format. Additionally, unthreading emails may affect the way the conversation is displayed in your email client or the way you can search for specific emails within the conversation.
