| Can the new look mark forwarded or "replied to" messages in the inbox? | gfterry1 | 11/11/01 15:03 | Explain your issue in full detail here: If I forward a message or reply to a message, the current gmail inbox does not show these messages as forwarded or "replied to".Has Google fixed this horrible flaw in their gmail interface in the "new look"?

| Re: Can the new look mark forwarded or "replied to" messages in the inbox? | wdurham | 11/11/01 15:08 | No - it's an interface change, not a feature change. If you need to know whether you have replied to a message or forwarded it, mark it with a star or label it. |
| Re: Can the new look mark forwarded or "replied to" messages in the inbox? | gfterry1 | 11/11/01 15:21 | That is such an utter crap response. Why can't gmail's interface automatically mark messages that have been forwarded or replied to automatically, LIKE EVERY OTHER DECENT EMAIL INTERFACE?!!Google keeps touting their "innovation" but they can't even |

You can request reply/forward indicators via the attached form. We also make Gmail freely available to any email client of your choice.

| Re: Can the new look mark forwarded or "replied to" messages in the inbox? | Dragon_ | 11/11/01 17:19 | Sarah, Why are you doing this to gmail? Why are you removing things? Why are you changing the look? It's really terrible - my entire company will stop using it and paying for it if the current design is what we are forced to use. |

| Re: Can the new look mark forwarded or "replied to" messages in the inbox? | donxymon | 11/12/22 13:29 | Maybe if we point out that Facebook's email system shows the reply by default, they will make the change? They are obviously trying to be a lame Facebook clone, might as well use it to our advantage for once. |

| Re: Can the new look mark forwarded or "replied to" messages in the inbox? | wdurham | 12/04/10 3:11 | The reason all other service providers and clients mark mail which you've forwarded or replied to is that until recently, when some of them enabled threaded view as an option, they all showed every email message separately. Such a marker was therefor |
| Re: Can the new look mark forwarded or "replied to" messages in the inbox? | shine712 | 12/04/17 17:40 | I think this might be a deal breaker.

What an odd choice by go |
| Re: Can the new look mark forwarded or "replied to" messages in the inbox? | wdurham | 12/04/17 23:21 | Odd choice? You may think so, but GMail's default is conversation view, where all replies/forwards are grouped together. Markers are therefore superfluous, as you can see clearly whether you have responded to a message. I agree markers are necessary |

| Re: Can the new look mark forwarded or "replied to" messages in the inbox? | wdurham | 12/05/04 21:49 | You don't have to keep track mentally - but if you have conversation view turned off and cannot see your reply along with the original message in the Sender column, then you DO need to keep track manually by starring the messages you have replied to. |
| Re: Can the new look mark forwarded or "replied to" messages in the inbox? | gfterry1 | 12/05/09 7:55 | wdurham, CONVERSATION VIEW SUCKS!!!! IT SUCKS!!! Your bogus promotion of conversation view as a solution is TOTAL GARBAGE! IT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM! Google's GMAIL team is so pathetically incompetent they can't even support a basic email feature. |

| Re: Can the new look mark forwarded or "replied to" messages in the inbox? | mswimelar | 12/08/09 6:36 | I just want to add to the chorus for Google to add an indicator in the inbox if a message has been forwarded or replied to.

| Re: Can the new look mark forwarded or "replied to" messages in the inbox? | wdurham | 13/05/13 8:00 | That's the entire point, hb108 - Gmail was built on conversation view, which renders the markers you are now demanding completely superfluous.

| Re: Can the new look mark forwarded or "replied to" messages in the inbox? | Megan Lawson | 13/05/13 8:16 | In trying to point out someone else's stupidity, you have really just exposed your own.

| Re: Can the new look mark forwarded or "replied to" messages in the inbox? | hb108 | 13/05/13 8:23 | I have nothing to add anymore. But it very interesting to see the shift from 'You can suggest the feature' to ' Gmail are not going to do it for you'. It is good to know where we stand! |
| Re: Can the new look mark forwarded or "replied to" messages in the inbox? | hb108 | 13/05/13 8:29 | Yes, this is one of the examples (i.e.mass email to muiltiple parties) where Conversation view absolutely fails and the manual marking of all emails with Conversation mode off does solve the situation as well. |
