"People like me"? So I have a preference, and on a community where we discuss features of tech back and forth, on a forum where the idea is just to share your opinion, since my opinion doesn't agree with yours I'm "one of those people"? Well, to answer how people like me can see an advantage to folders, allow me to share. Labels don't MOVE my email into a segregated pot, they stay out in the inbox en masse. I and others prefer to segregate messages into a folder by subject, sender, whatever, or delete them. That's how I stay on top of my email. I have many associates whom I communicate with via Gmail instead of my work email. I know I'm not alone, the desire for folders has been posted here on Digg on many an occasion, and by many whom I work with. As I work in IT for a living, the opinions of those whom I associate with and work with are less than dim-witted "high horse" statements. As you state 99% of your emails get sorted into one label, then its easy to see how I utilize email is foreign to you.
that's the thing, i have about 500 old emails that got transfered from the second email account to gmail, which i'd like to go through and remove unwanted ones. which direction would you go? i'd just sort by sender and then batch delete the ones i don't want anymore. sounds pretty logical - doesn't it?
If I were you I'd say the same thing. But, since I've spent the last 15 years working in I.T. I'm gonna guess there's a bug with gMail on some people's accounts. Head over to the gMail support boards and you'll find several thousand people with the exact same issue and no response...
I'd love to see Google offer a paid support option - I'd gladly pay for it. But in this case I have to agree with G-RaZor - gmail really isn't "free" - and they provide the illusion that you can get support for it. If they told you up front that you got no support I'd not have that expectation.

I agree. Here's another link to the script on Mozilla's official addons site: <a class="user" href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4866">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/486 ...</a>

They need to let us get rid of the conversation view. It's a PITA
