Ungrouping a Conversation in Mail

I don't understand why everybody keeps advizing to 'uncheck organize by conversation'. That is not the issue. (Why have a feature that you then disable because it doesn't work correctly???)

Personally I am quite happy with the organization by conversation - IN PRINCIPLE - if only the emails in a conversation really belong to that conversation. Often they do. Sometimes they don't. What I would like to do is take individual emails out of a conversation and tell the system it did something wrong. The mail program could even use these manual actions to teach itself to become better in its job. (Just like you can teach the system what's SPAM). Is there any way to take out individual messages out of a particular conversation and say to the mail system: no, this one should not be in here?

I wanted to post the following solution that seemed to have helped my issue with this grouping problem!

Instead of linking my Gmail account with Airmail using the Gmail setup, I used the IMAP setup instead. I still have "Use Conversations" preference enabled. For whatever reason, this seemed to fix the issue of non-related emails being grouped together simply because the Subject was the same (even though I had the "Group by Subject" preference unchecked.

Not sure if this will be helpful for anyone but thought I'd post how I was able to fix it!

Extremely helpful!!! Thanks for taking the time to check it out and respond! Nothing like "Mac" people in this world.

I totally agree with you -- I too love this feature. BUT, when an error occurs where two unrelated emails are joined together in the same thread b/c of the same subject line text, one should be able to pull that particular email out and separate it from the conversation.
