How to filter gmail messages by sender and not display the ones by others in the same thread


Gmail's default behaviour, when filtering received emails by sender, is to show all messages in the thread to which a sender responded, including messages by other senders. This is especially annoying when many people take part in discussion. Is it possible to display messages literally only by a specific sender in gmail and hide other in the thread?


Solution

  • It seems the only way is to turn off threads completely in configuration options.
