Andy - I tried using the Conversations option in Gmail for a while, but I
much prefer the (non-conversation) option, so I for the past several months
I've kept Conversations turned off. Only a very few of my email
interactions go back and forth enough so that Conversations would clarify
things. Hunting for the missing emails, I can go back to a time several
days before the interchange began, and still not find the ones I've sent,
either in Sent mail or in All Mail.

It will remain another of the great mysteries of Gmail.It's disturbing and
potentially embarrassing, but I can live with it. Gmail is certainly better
than Thunderbird, and my Outlook 2007 had begun to hold on to emails for a
few days at a time (Roadrunner), so even with its limitations Gmail is a
big improvement.
