Thanks for the explanation. That makes sense.
I think, for me, that could work as long as I knew what I was looking
for. Often, though, I’m revisiting an old conversation to see where we
left off, who’s court the ball is in, or how much I need to pester
someone. ;-) A lot of what I do is staying on top of other people
and/or following up, and seeing the whole view of a conversation is very
helpful.
Thanks for the tip re: clicking on header lines. I think that might come
in handy.
And thanks again for sharing how you work; it helps inform my use
(especially as long as I’m shifting email clients). I even read [this
review](https://tyler.io/2020/04/additional-mailmate-tips/) in which he
says MM broke him of his habit of looking in threaded views. :-)

Well, I'm someone who doesn't care about "conversation view," so I
guess I can try to explain why not. I do know other people who care
about it a lot.
I do frequently refer to old (sometimes very old) email messages for
all sorts of reasons. I just search. MailMate has what I think are
really great search features and I can usually find what I'm looking
for pretty fast and easily.
Usually all I need is the search box in the upper right of the viewer
window. Sometimes I need to further filter with additional search
criteria. Sometimes I make a new smart mailbox if I think I'll want to
refer to the messages again in a few hours or days.
I also use the MailMate feature of clicking on "From:", "Subject:",
"To:" lines in the message header pane a lot to find other similar
messages.
That's it, I just search. It works really well for me. I don't care
about threads or conversation view. I don't even usually have
"Organize by Thread" turned on.
I think this is mostly a "different strokes" kind of thing.

(And, I’m still curious about how people use email *without*
comprehensive views by thread. Though, after years of viewing emails
in the context of their conversations, I find it hard to imagine not
doing so.)
