Mail threads are mixed up what do I do?

+1

Found this in another thread. Uncheck the "include Related Messages" in the Mail Viewing Preferences. That solved it for me.

Cheers,

I tried this and I still have "Basement Storage", "Thursday Funday" , and "Sad News" all mixed into one thread. All with different senders.

Disabling a feature isn't really a fix either, right?

One way is to file a bug report: <https://bugreport.apple.com>, but that site seems to be constantly down. Probably some bug.

Another way is to leave feedback: <https://www.apple.com/feedback/mail.html>.

Just did both; would probably be wise for everyone else to do this as well in order to expedite this fix.

Still happens to me on all computers. Sent a mail to bugreportersupport@apple.com because login on https://bugreport.apple.com/ wouldn't work either on newest OS X and Safari. Will probably migrate everything to Mailbox or possibly even Outlook over the weekend. It's a sad testament to recent trends when Microsoft software (on OS X no less) has become the "it just works" alternative to Apple software.

I think I might have just found a solution to this. Forgive me if I'm wrong!

Was having the same issue so went to Mail > Preferences from the toolbar and selected the Viewing tab. I had a checkbox called "Include related messages" checked. Unchecking that box appears to have solved the issue on my machine.

Hope this helps someone.

Ah, just noticed dutchdude31's already posted this solution above. Worked for me too!

It didn't work for me. Everything still mixed up! I very recently changed from Microsoft to Apple and am wondering if I've made a huge mistake!

Hi.

Ive got the same extra characters it in the source of my threads that are mixed up... Se example under. I assume Mail.app consider <>> to be a valid reference/identification and therefore shows them as a thread. 😟

References: <FCEDD7B8-CF6C-4ADD-9B47-BE59605B9B59@domain.com>

<,<2159BEEF0A31EA44B77950DBB05FACDB81C790C0@HOSEX01.domain.com> <>>

<899EC0E0-2B48-4FD0-B119-58375E441E4E@domain.com>

Also Ive tried the following. Just so no one does the same 🙂

Exported mail thread.

Removed all extra symbols in the reference part. ( like >> ,> <, and things like that)

Removed original mails from mail.app

Removed mail cache

Rebuilt mailbox

imported the mails.

Didn't do any difference. Still mixed up. Don't know how they do the tread calculations, but apparently not only by the ref.

Any new info on this?

I cant believe Apple ruined my favorte thing from Apple.

How can you screw up Mail!!!!

*sigh

Hi, yep, just started happening for me too. It's infuriating. Only slightly less infuriating than the fact that this has clearly been going on for some time and yet Apple seems to be ignoring it?

Perhaps the earlier suggestion to write directly to Apple is a good one, since I'm pretty sure they've just left this whole "community support" thing to run itself a la Lord of the Flies.

This helped me for a similar issue : http://tedhagos.com/osx/mail-mixedup-messages-email-thread.html

People really think that Apple code didn't have bugs before Jobs? Are you really that clueless?

Never said it was a (code) fix. Sometime flipping a switch solves a problem. ******
