I am sorry to post this question to here but I couldn't find any other place to ask.

Does RainLoop provide an option to view threaded messages like in Gmail? I cannot seem to find it if there is one. I'd like to group all messages belonging a given thread so that the messages list is not cluttered with separate lines.

Anybody? How can I enable threaded view?

You need to enable Settings > General > Use threads. If the options is missing, it's because the mail server doesn't support message threads.
Also open ./data/.../configs/application.ini and check if threads are enabled.

It is Gmail IMAP. Shouldn't it support?

Use threads is missing in the Gener settings.

mail_use_threads = On in application.ini

OK, the dev confirms Gmail doesn't support IMAP threading. It uses its own threading implementation only in the web UI.

Hello there,

New to Rainloop here, planning to experiment with Rainloop in conjunction with Roundcube. Surprisingly, most clients I've used, irregardless of E-Mail provider, had support for threaded messages. I was particularly interested in this issue. Sadly, after looking over linked comments, for a modern WebMail client, apparently this feature has a dependency on the IMAP server supporting IMAP Threading. I would have to look over Dovecot documentation to determine if such support exists.
