Hi all, 

First, THANK YOU, I'm really excited about this project, and hope I can help 
out a bit here and there even if it's just testing. 

Concerning testing whether a conversation thread is being displayed 
appropriately, would it be safe to assume that the messages involved should be 
displaying in the same order as what they would be using the Gmail Webapp? 

Like if I have: 

User1 Sent Email 
User2 Replied 
User1 Sent Reply 
User1 Sent 2nd Reply 

Right now some of my replies aren't showing up in the conversation thread, 
whereas in Gmail all 4 appear in that order. Anyways, for the sake of QA, 
should they essentially mirror Gmail conversation order? 

I'm running against master, and am planning on fetch/merging regularly. 

Cheers to the Max!

Hi Steve,

Great to hear Geary you're excited about Geary!  So are we, but as you've seen 
there are many features we haven't implemented yet.

Currently Geary does not show sent messages as part of an email thread.  That's 
something we have planned for the future. It's ticketed here:
http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/4293

The more detailed answer is that Gmail's web interface has a slightly different 
threading model than standard IMAP.  When you send a message on Gmail, it 
places the message into the "Sent Mail" IMAP folder, but not the "Inbox" IMAP 
folder.  Today, Geary only displays messages in the given folder you have 
selected, but won't pull messages from other folders.  This is in contrast to 
Gmail's web interface, which shows every message in a thread regardless as to 
which folder it's in.

I hope that explanation makes sense.

Please do let us know of any issues you find as you continue testing Geary.  
Thanks!

 - Eric
