It's the Gmail app with the red M, which is also the default as there is no other mail.

Out of curiosity... on your phone, are you using the actual gmail app, or are you using the default email app that came with your phone to access gmail?

The gmail icon is a white envelope edged with a bold red M. It is labeled Gmail. Your phone's default app is anything saying email that is not that.

It depends on your phone. On my iPhone, if you go under Settings > Mail, there's a Threading section that allows you to turn it on/off, specify the sort order of emails in the thread, etc.

Help with Gmail

There is something called "conversation mode" in your settings for gmail that can be either On or Off. The only way you can fix it in your settings is when you're at a computer, NOT when you're on your cell phone. It determines whether or not your emails come to you as threaded or grouped or whatever.

So: you have an Exchange account for work because work doesn't use Gmail. It ONLY comes to your phone as an Exchange. You can't log into it via Google on the computer at all. Therefore, the messages all come threaded. Then you stab yourself because work messages are all ginormous threaded threads of threaded threads of threads. Can this be fixed?
