longest email i have is 13 messages total.

when i view it, it lists the original sender's name, then has grey lines for each message between (no text), then shows the last two people who sent. it compacts it enough so i don't have to scroll.

if i click on any of the grey, the expand and show who sent it in the email and the first line. still small enough not to scroll.

i don't know how large your emails are

Not true. Labels and Filters work perfectly for this. Labels are "Folders".

I have group emails with friends that can get to over 100+ messages. The problem is that when you get that many emails, it's really really easy to skip over a few new messages and miss something. If each email gets its own line on the inbox, it's a lot easier to know what time all the emails came in and to keep track of each one. It fills up the inbox more quickly but that doesn't bother me. The arbitrary hiding and minimizing of the messages is what I don't like.

Yeah, I didn't like that they were called labels at first and you have to "archive" your emails to those labels, but when you realize they function identically to "folders", it makes no difference.

Too much work, and no. I check my email on several computers, most of which are not my own.
