"The loss of GMail conversation view was initially really REALLY painful."

I recently experienced the same pain with Thunderbird after moving away from the new Gmail compose interface however I've since moved on to Airmail [1] which deals with conversations (and other Gmail behaviours (shortcuts etc) in a very similar way to Gmail and am extremely happy with the move.

Thanks for the tip!

I use Linux on all my laptops and workstation, so unfortunately I can't use airmail or postbox (windows + osx) for this.

Geary is a mail client for Linux with a similar interface to conversation view. It's still fairly young, so not entirely polished, but it is usable.

Edit: usable, but seemingly with no support for encryption/signing, among various other things. Maybe it needs a bit more time to be ready.
