Message Mode

Message Mode - Turn Off Conversation Mode(new window)

Conversation Mode was introduced with version 3.0 of Proton Mail(new window). This feature provides the option to group all the messages from a conversation in the same thread to allow easier readability of a conversation. Message Mode disables this grouping to allow each individual message to open independently of the rest of the conversation mode. You can easily toggle between the two modes by going to Settings –> Appearance in your account.
