Conversation View Explained

  • By default, when you access LSUMail using an internet browser (http:// mail.lsu.edu), your e-mails will be grouped by conversation threads based on Subject.
  • This means if someone sends you an e-mail and you reply, and they reply back, the whole conversation will be grouped together.
