IOS 10 mail puts messages threads in seemingly random order

If you swipe left, and select "More", at least on some messages, you will see "Show related Messages", which gives a display of only the messages in the thread like we had before. This is more cumbersome than just swiping, as we could do previously. I found a settings dialogue to control what swiping does, but it does not offer an option to show related messages.

I found that a swipe-right on the message body when in thread view gives you a Read/Unread button. Starting to get used to this....scroll through the thread, read the emails, swipe-right to mark ones I need to come back to later. With the swipe left options of flag/reply/delete as well, this is finally starting to make sense to me how it is supposed to be used.

Appel please.......... this is the most crapy Update ever.

Mail Thread Works like crap. Reciving new mails to a thread of mails makes it imposible to find The new mail. And and and .......

Using the sliders for setting up clock is Like trying to move somthing attached to a elastic.

It's a crap Update! Roleback is in order.!!!!!!

don't see the double arrows you are referring to.

There is the upper left opposing arrows which open and close the email list versus full width display of the message;

And on upper right two opposing greater than less than icons for moving previous or next email message.

I do not see the double are at top right of every threaded email conversation as you put it.

Thanx

Oh Wait!

I see the the 2 double arrows you are referring to:

They are upper in the list of messages. Not the body of the message or on the right hand side of the message display side.

But rather the right hand side of the Message list.

Yes - very helpful tip.

Thanks..

I hope I didn't do something wrong, but thought this was more of a search issue. Went into General, Spotlight Search, turned setting off for mail.

if you go into settings, and then click "Mail" -> Scroll down to THREADING and enable "Most Recent Message on Top"

I have no idea why this is not the default, but this makes it so much better.

Hope that helps

I'd also like to voice the same opinion. Email management using my iphone is horrendous. I would almost wait and check my emails on my laptop (if possible), especially for work when there are several messages linked together and not even bother with using my iPhone for this purpose. Apple, this is not a user-friendly approach for email management. It would be much appreciated if we can have it back like it used to be. Simple.

P.S.- My mother, who I recently encouraged to purchase an iPhone, is having difficulty navigating through her emails as well.

I did that, but the problem I have now is it shows my latest reply on the top of the list vs being hidden unless I click on an arrow so I can read my reply.

I don't need to see what I wrote. I want the last reply from the other person on top. What's with that?

Hope this helps everyone

Go into settings and mail

Scroll down

Turn off the first option organize by thread

Close and reopen mail

Seems to be cleaning up my mess

That worked for me.

I didn't read all of the replies, but I agree with all of the comments questioning the logic of making this change. I've used thread-based email management in outlook for several years, and I thought the previous iOS process made sense. The new one is completely confusing, and I see no way to use it. Guess I'm going to have to disable it. Very frustrating. Cannot understand what Apple thought they were doing for users with this change. Please revert to the previous approach.

Thanks!

Truth depends on wisdom.

Excellent - that works, revolutionary, now what they were trying to do makes sense, a neat video would have been great at launch
