mail organize by conversation mixup

exactly the same problem here as well. It's soooo annoying. Hate Yosemite now!!😠

I have exactly the same problem using 10.10.1 - it worked perfectly under Mavericks so how have they managed to break it so spectacularly? I have tried all of the options / suggestions in other threads to no avail. I have just sent them feedback. SORT IT APPLE!

Any alternative to Apple Mail?

I have the same problem, please fix it Apple!

Yep, I'm having this exact problem too. Just wanted to add my voice to the conversation in case anyone at Mac notices/cares and weight of numbers makes a difference or something. The weird thing is, it seemed to work ok at first, but then suddenly loads of unrelated emails were linked. Unclicking the related emails preference made no difference.

Yep. Same problem for me too. Really irritating!

Same issue here - so many people experiencing this issue. Makes navigating emails a huge headache!

Apple please fix this!!

I have the same problem.

C'mon Apple, or somebody, a fix please!

This problem has actually gone away for me a couple of updates ago. Has it resolved for anyone else on this thread?

Dear all,

This looks to me like a corruption of the Mail indexes, which I've come across a couple of times previously. I've found a solution that worked for me.

With Mail closed, in the Home | Library, go to Mail | V2 | MailData. Delete the three files with names starting with "Envelope":

• "Envelope Index"
• "Envelope Index-wal" and
• "Envelope Index-shm"

(Drag them to the desktop if you want to be cautious!) Open Mail again and it goes through an importing and indexing process, forcing a rebuild of the index from scratch, which resolved the problems that I experienced, which included faulty "read" count, missing folders, invisible messages, etc.

Good luck

Are you in Yosemite? I can't find those folders anywhere.

Yes, my current system is Yosemite, and the folders were in the same place on my Mavericks OS.

It's possible your Home | Library is not visible. Go to Finder and drop down the 'Go' menu. When you hold down the 'Alt' key the 'Library' folder will appear in the middle of the menu. That folder is where you'll find the 'Mail | V2 | MailData' folder that contains the 'Envelope' files.

Thanks for the tip, but it didn't work - still grouping inaccurately!

Same Problem here.

same issue: Mail: Organize By Conversation - wrong emails

Plagued by the same issue, I tried this STCav and what do you know… it added even more unrelated content into an already overcrowded unrelated conversation.

Apple has broken a good feature once again. As this has got worse, or at least more apparent as it builds a more and more broken relationship database, I now at least know why I haven't reacted to some client emails over the last few months.

I now have 39 messages in one confused conversation that should be 5 separate ones.

Fix it Apple.
