Mama2Three Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Hey there! In my gmail acct, responses go to the bottom of the page, so I have to scroll down the email to see the newest response. I use the acct for business and it really and truly is driving me crazy! I have searched through gmail settings and I don't see anywhere to change it. I googled my question numerous ways, but the closest results pertain to leaving an automated response when on vacation. No one else's acct seems to do this, but I don't remember doing anything special when I set up the acct. Help!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Under "Settings", you should have a tab labeled "Inbox". Go to that and see what your "Inbox Type" is set to. I have mine set to "Classic" (and I don't have the problem you're describing). You could try setting yours to "Unread first", which will list your newest messages first - I would assume that would fix the problem. HTH! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiddenJewel Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Are you talking about the newest message being at the bottom of a conversation in Gmail? But you want it to read newest to oldest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama2Three Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 Hidden Jewel, Yes!!! That's exactly what I mean! Know how to fix it? :-) Dandelion, I tried your advice, and sent mail back and forth between another acct and gmail, but no luck. That setting impacts the order of the emails in the inbox but not responses within an email. Thanks for trying! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang!Zoom! Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I hate the new gmail layout, I blew out my entire history permanently not long ago trying to adjust it. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that would work better for you? On the first page of settings set it to "conversation view off" and see if that works better for you.

I like the conversations grouped together, I just don't like that the responses are at the bottom. It's not like that for all gmail users so there must be some way to change it...

courtney.byrum Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Hmm.. my responses in conversations are always at the bottom but it minimizes the prior parts if they've been read. It's been that way since I've had gmail and was unaware that it was different for some people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been that way since I've had gmail and was unaware that it was different for some people. Me, too. I only see the text of the newest one, unless I expand all the back and forth above it. Weird.
