I abhor “conversation view” in my email client. To me, it just isn’t intuitive and makes for more work. I might want to delete or file away a previous message, but keep a current message thread in my inbox as actionable. The conversation view for me just makes for more clutter. And it reminds me of Microsoft Outlook. Blech.

Reverting to the “classic” inbox style of Mail.app in OS X Lion is simple.

View > Organize by Conversation

By default, Mail.app should have this checked. When you click on ‘Organize by Conversation’, it will then become unchecked, and will bring your Mail.app inbox back to the way that you know and love.
