We're not going to move mail into a database; use a db-backed IMAP 
server if you want that. And HEAD already has a thread view feature 
that, while not yet like gmail's conversations, is a start on it. 
Improvements to that are welcome.

Hi,



It would be so nice if IMP users could have the option of having 
messages displayed in a "conversations" format similar to gmail.



Maybe the easiest way to do this would be to store messages in a 
database  (mysql?) - the data could then also be easily indexed for 
more powerful search functions... (also much more efficient than a 
flat file for those who keep large numbers of messages in mailboxes (I 
have over 10,000 in one box!)



Thanks for the great software!

Erik
