In the beginning the items in the list were just mails.

Leading to grouping of mails compactly in hierarchically nested organized tree outline view, somewhat like this: # grouping based on the other person we are dealing with (similar to contacts in chat apps - Skype's recent, whatsapp) ## list of all threads inside this group ### All mails in that thread
What should happen when a thread involves more than one other person (e.g. person 1 and person 3 in your example below?)
with options somewhere maybe in context menu to collapse expand levels, so obviously the default view is collapsed showing the contact name, subject, snippet-(if enabled) I guess this option is partially available in MS outlook in activity section, but it provides one group at a time and there is no overview.
I'm not familiar with that feature of Outlook, but I guess the limitation of one group at a time is to avoid the problem of how to deal with messages which appear in more than one group.
Also like grouping in file manager (windows explorer) where it shows all items in groups all at a time.
There, each file or folder clearly falls into one group. You don't get a file with a name beginning with both A and G, or with a size both greater than 1MB and less than 1MB, etc. But you can have an email thread containing messages from both person 1 and person 3.
I don't want anything to be left for doubt, so here is an example of Organized listing of mails, Expanded view: (nested line folding anyone?!) # person 1 ## thread topic: subject line 1 ### mail 1 ### mail 2 ## thread topic: subject line 2 ### mail 1 ### mail 2 ### mail 3 ... # person 2 ## thread topic: subject line 1 ### mail 1 ### mail 2 ### mail 3 ## thread topic: subject line 2 ### mail 1 ### mail 2 ### mail 3 ## thread topic: subject line 3 ### mail 1 ### mail 2 ... # person 3 ## thread topic: subject line 1 ### mail 1 ### mail 2 ## thread topic: subject line 2 ### mail 1 ### mail 2 ### mail 3 ### mail 4 ### mail 5 ...
