480228 - Conversation threading: show sent messages in-line in threaded view

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 677145

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, enhancement)

Description

[DontLike-Bugzillas-Unhidden-Email]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009020410 Fedora/3.0.6-1.fc10 Firefox/3.0.6
Build Identifier: thunderbird-2.0.0.19-1.fc10.i386

Tried combining the Add-ons "Show InOut" and "ThreadBubble" but I still couldn't satisfy my gmail fix.  I'd like an easy way to review what I wrote in addition to the newest reply (for emails with the same Subject), instead of having to hunt it down.

Key feature:  the ability to indicate which "sent" folder gets accessed to create the conversations

Implied Request:  for this to work with IMAP Sent folders


This is my first bugzilla report, please advise if more details are needed. This seems like it'd make a good Add-On.  thanks!



Reproducible: Always

Reporter, please try latest nightly branch build
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/nightly/latest-comm-1.9.1/

In message header, we now have "other actions" button which includes a command "show in conversation". Does this do what you want?

Apologies, I have switched operating systems & email client since 1 year ago.  The soonest I could test this on ubuntu 9.10 would in 2 weeks.

So it doesn't get lost, here is what I wrote in Bug 539545. This request is obviously in need of help from the UX gurus. My scenario *may* be a little different from comment #0, but I'm not sure.  
---
I archive almost all emails in a way that is like what GMail does. I almost
never delete an email in TB. 

When I search through my Archives folders, I would like to see the entire
thread of emails, including emails I sent out. Today, the Archives folders just
capture the emails from other people, so part of the thread is missing.

I know I can implement some hack (maybe bcc myself and set up a filter to move
emails to an Archive folder, but that's a mess, and I would need to update the
filter every January 1...) but I'd rather that the software found a way to let
me keep everything together inside the Archives folders.

This is solved by the conversations addon, per bug 677145
