Suppose Gmail was actually made by Apple, and that it was Apple that had concluded that the "Conversations" interface worked best for e-mail. Do you think Apple would have added a "Normal e-mail view" for people who didn't like it? I don't.

apple's mail.app has a threaded view which is basically what gmail's conversations are, and it can certainly be turned off.

No, it is not the same as gmail's conversations. The biggest difference is that gmail shows your replies in the same view.

ok, but the point is that apple still lets you decide which view you want.
