Email settings question
Hello
I recently emailed a number of bathroom companies asking about a new shower enclosure.
I sent this as a group email with each address Bcc'd.
I thought this would be quicker and easier than sending the exact same email to each company separately.
The problem this has created is that every response I receive and every subsequent reply I send is now part of an enormous (and ever increasing thread) where it is difficult to keep track of where I am up to with each company.
Is it possible to change the settings on my email account (I have hotmail) so that the emails appear in my inbox as separate threads for each company rather than one big thread?
Thanks

Email settings question
Unfortunately, to get round this problem, I've had to paste all the emails onto a Word document and gradually cut and paste each email from there onto separate Word documents for each company.
That's the only way I've been able to group the emails together by company.
Any further emails can be pasted onto the relevant Word document.
It took a while but I got there in the end
I just hope there's an easier way to sort it than that.

Not being "funny" but I would have never done what you did in the first place, I would have sent the first company the info, copied the important part, then sent new emails (pasted the info) to each company.

Would you hit a nail with a shoe because you don't have a hammer? of course not, then why work on anything electrical without a means of testing Click Here to buy a "tester" just because it works, does NOT mean it is safe.
If gloom had a voice, it would be me.

If I had known that it was going to form one enormous thread then I would have sent the emails separately.Someone-Else wrote: ↑Thu May 16, 2024 1:21 pm Not being "funny" but I would have never done what you did in the first place, I would have sent the first company the info, copied the important part, then sent new emails (pasted the info) to each company.
I wanted to see if there was a particular shower enclosure on display and contacted all the companies within a certain radius that displayed items from the manufacturer.
But as there turned out to be over 60 companies, I thought sending a group email would be quicker.

I've just tried it now.
It hasn't grouped the emails together by company. Instead it has listed every email separately in the inbox which is a big improvement on what I had before.
Thank you
