Expand all conversations

eM Client needs a button or an option to expand all/collapse All in a single conversation (in the conversation view). Far easier to print or preview without clicking when we got a huge amount of conversation emails.

Hello Benoit,
thank you for sharing your idea on the forum where our developers can consider it for future updates.

This is a great feature suggestion. Any development yet on it?

Yep, definitely needed!

This is already provided in version 9.

Please upgrade to the latest version available here: https://www.emclient.com/dist/latest/setup.msi

I want to use conversations… but need the thread expanded by default. Surely there’s a way to do this?

I am running the latest version. Perhaps I wasn’t clear but I don’t want to have to click the button to view all messages in the conversation - I need to see all messages by default.

Bumping this thread - IMHO always needing to click the three dots to expand the message chain in a thread feels like repetitive busywork and results in suboptimal UX. We should at least have the option for email chains to auto-expand by default, as this is expected behaviour in other email clients. That eM Client exhibits this behaviour is non-standard and inexplicit.

As a new subscriber of the app via the Windows Store who uses conversations in all views, I for one would be very grateful to see this functionality revised in line with common expectations.

There is a suggestion for that to be added as an option, so if anyone else would like that, you can vote for that via the Sleekplan suggestion and ideas page link below.

Also @Olivia_Rust advised below a way to do that.

"While you cannot expand all messages by default, you can expand the given conversation at once - right-click the header of one of the messages and select “Expand All Messages”

You can also “click the small dropdown arrow” at the very top right of the message “below the date and time” & select Expand all Messages.

(eM Client right click message Mac example)
