Description Frank 2017-12-30 15:17:48 UTC
Would be cool if we could merge conversations, since it happened several times lately, that others edited the subject of our conversation (or created a new one), while the mails were about exactly the same topic.
Comment 1 Michael Gratton 2018-01-10 00:29:28 UTC
Some possible means of doing this would be to use selection mode or using drag and drop, and ideally have some means of splitting conversations as well.
Comment 2 Frank 2018-01-10 00:36:27 UTC
Implementation-wise, I think a new (meta) subject has to be implemented in your mail abstraction/object for preserving all the original subjects – so each mail then has an origanal and optionally a meta/custom subject. This should both be choosable from the either one of the old subjects, or a new one should be creatable.

And this would also make sense for single mails, for if you want to answer with a different subject to a mail and also creating a new conversation (for example for correcting the first – maybe inappropriate – subject).

Looks good to me still!
Comment 5 GNOME Infrastructure Team 2021-07-05 13:24:10 UTC
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/geary/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
