10.4: Emulate Gmail's conversations in Mail.app

Or, simply select both boxes (command + click) or groups of boxes. This is what I believe to be one of Mail's greatest features and one of my personal favorites. You can select any combintation of boxes to view in the Viewer Window. You can also have multiple Viewer Windows. You can view all of your accounts Inboxes at once or just one at a time. You can view account A's Inbox, Sent, and Trash all at the same time. Or, your view account A's Inbox, account B's Sentbox, and account C's Trash all at the same time. And with Organize by Thread, you can view any combination as a thread. And, as noted, if there is a specific view that you wish to see often, you can save it with smart mailboxes.

Now that's some super dope feature, batman.
Never realized you could select multiple boxes. Now Mail is useful again! Thanks a lot. Another example (as if we needed more) as to why this site is great, and why just because someone already knows it, it's not necessarily common knowledge.

Awesome.

I actually had to read and re-read the main article a few times before I understood what the author's meant. Your comment gave me a better understanding. Thanks!

Hey, that's cool - I never knew you could do this! I do still prefer the smart mailbox method, because I actually have four folders I'm merging: "Inbox", "Sent", "Last month's inbox" and "Last month's sent." Yeah, I like to rotate out the mailboxes each month. :)

Actually I didn't know this until you wrote this. This is an awesome feature. Especially to view my admin mailboxes all together.

But I don't know how to save this view? With Smartfolders? But how?

Well now I know. SmartFolders are really usefull to me. I just wished they would remember my custom column settings. Then it would be perfect.

Could someone post exactly how to save this view with a smart folder?
