Ungrouping a Conversation in Mail

I have conversations turned on in Mail. However, it is auto-grouping messages that don't go together. (In this case, the messages have the same subject, the generic word "Question." Besides both being in my Mail, the two messages don't have anything to do with one another.)

Does anyone know of a way to ungroup these messages so they go into different conversations? If not, there needs to be some way to tell Mail to group or ungroup messages that it doesn't guess correctly on.

Okay I literally made an account just to post an answer to this because it was killing me but I finally figured it out and I had to tell you.

Just go to "View" on the top and uncheck the "Organize by Conversation" option. You should also do "Sort by Date" in the View toolbar as well. That should handle it. You could also do this by each individual folder of mailbox so it's really customizable and great!

Hope this helps 🙂
