Looks great, and is very helpful, however it cancel the ability to add someone to a certain address book from the menu so I had to disable.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.6.3).Rated 1 out of 5 stars
Way too much slow and it breaks some features such as navigate to previous/next message (backward/forward in history) and a lot of addons.

Das Feeling in Thunderbird wird durch diese Erweiterung echt verbessert.
Vieles, was sonst bei Thunderbird fehlt, wurde hinzugefügt und auch die Zusammenfassung gewisser Ordner (Posteingang, Entwürfe, Gesendet usw.) ist echt super.
Klar sind einige Dinge nur "Tweaks" an den Einstellungen, allerdings stimmt diese Erweiterung einfach alles aufeinander ab.

It is probably the best extension available. It organizes sent and received e-mails similarly to what is done by Gmail. It also adds a reply box to the message view, allowing a fast to reply e-mails.
It shouldn't be an extension – it should come by default with Thunderbird!

I like the plugin.
But it seem to deactivate the "ctrl+f" in mail ?
Unfortunately, yes. See https://github.com/protz/GMail-Conversation-View/issues/241 for more details.

This should be the default for thunderbird, huge improvement.

This is great when you've grown addicted to gmails approach to email. I only wish they'd give the thread pane an overhaul as well. As of now, with this extensions, the message pane is so much prettier and more user friendly than the rest of thunderbird.

Aesthetics is great. Very usable and stable.
Honourable mention to the gorgeous gallery feature.

Great, it really shows the whole thread in an overview and helps me a lot!!
I'm giving it only four stars because some things may still be improved:
- show contact picture
- allow to send the reply later (it's sending immediately if you use fast reply)
- some issues with text size (even though it's okay for me now, I had some issues before on other computers)
That said, let's not forget that it revolutionizes (replaces) the way the messages are shown so some incompatibilities (eg when using an addin to display contact photos) will be inevitable.

This ... doesn't work for me. I very specifically like Gmail's style of handling threads...mostly because it's most natural for me.
Why does a new message in thread appear at the bottom instead on top?
Why doesn't the Startup Assistant even work?
Why bother telling me to tweak it if I'm really too stupid find out where the Advance menu? I'm sorry I really couldn't find it. This is why harder than jailbreaking an iOS and figuring out how Cydia works.
Why does the font look craptastic? Why does it not let me customise the shit out of the fonts?
Why...oh dang it. I give up.
Don't get me wrong, its a good add-on. A brave attempt that should be commended, just not very friendly FOR ME at this point. I particularly like the the shortcuts, revissed menus, careful though on layout in the reading pane; fantastic.
As I find myself wondering so many why's instead of figuring what's inside the email, I'll keep this under "Interestingly but not usable".

This is a fantastic addon and makes my daily email a pleasure! The one feature I'd really like to see added is the ability to be able to delete email attachments from within conversation view. This doesn't seem possible at present and involves having to first open messages using "view using classic reader". Thanks for the great addon!
Edit: I hadn't noticed this. That's great. Ideally I'd like to see a "delete" option next to the "preview | open | save" commands.
I thought there was the right-click menu (on the attachment icon) that allowed you to do just that?

...there is one thing that ist a bit annying to me:
I have a lot of email accounts. Some of them I use very often, but most of them I only use from time to time. When I get a new email notification and click on it, I am being asked to enter my username and password for every account. It would be fine, if that only happened for the accounts where I have the "check for messages on startup" checked in the server settings - or for the accounts, which I am currently logged in.
On the other side, this is a very great and helpful add-on! Thank you for this.

I suspect that's not related to my addon. However, disabling the unified inbox (View > Folders > All in the menus) may help.

With the latest release on Feb 18, 2013, this addon is incorrectly grouping the threads. How to replicate:1. select an email except the latest received one.2. hit reply.3. the reply window will take the latest email instead of the selected email.
Reinstalled the version. The bug seems to have gone.
Can you make sure you are using version 2.6.3?

Excellent Add-on! Such an improvement!
Also this does work with the latest version of thunderbird, you just need to download the file and select "Install Add-on from file"

Update [2/11/2013]
My mistake. It's just that out of the box Thunderbird is great but Thunderbird Conversations is what makes it Outstanding!
Thanks for taking the time to clarify this =)
------------------
Why isn't the latest version of this add-on compatible with the latest version of Thunderbird?I'm running Thunderbird v17.0.2 [the latest stable version of TB] yet the latest version of Thunderbird Conversations is only compatible with Thunderbird v19.0 - 21.0 and above.
Because it's just a compatibility fix for the beta versions of Thunderbird, and it brings no new features compared to 2.5.2.

Improves Thunderbird immeasurably!
A new version was just downloaded, however, and I don't see any information anywhere about what has changed. Am I missing it?
Hi, see https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/gmail-conversation-view/ near the bottom there is a section "version information"

It does a good job of initiating and hitting all the settings for threaded views. However, it fails to include the "sent mail" folder (or it seems it has trouble with any time an email is outside of the inbox). This makes it a partial unfortunately. The concept of threading a conversation is for me to be able to put the message within ANY folder of that IMAP account and have it known where it is, but retain the linkage between them.Hoping there is an update soon to fix this. Great initial work!
edit: update. So it appears that if I am in "all folder view", the threading works as expected. However, when I am in "unified" view, the "master" inbox works correctly, however, the sub inboxes (those specific to a particular account) do not accurately thread the messages, and they are often missing pieces of the thread, not just from sent mail, but other areas as well sometimes. I've also noticed that at times it "threads" completely unrelated messages together that do not even have the same subject line or distribution list on them.
I appreciate everything the developer has done to date and am hoping they can work out the kinks to really bring it in line with Google's conversation view!

全局收 / 发件箱是多好的东西啊?! 还有默认情况下 Thunderbird 显示远程内容还要添加联系人的设定, 点到手软好嘛?! 现在烦恼全都没了, 爽... 虽然更改了一些 Thunderbird 的设定和界面, 但是是值得的!
