Google will be rolling out conversation view settings over the next several days. It will first be available to Google Apps users who have selected "Enabled pre-release features" for their organizations.

Even with the release of a toggle for conversation view, it's doubtful that the debate over its effectiveness will end any time soon. Fans of conversation view cite its ability un-clutter inboxes by threading conversations based on message connections. Naysayers, however, have complained that threading is simply a distraction that complicates the way e-mail has worked for nearly 20 years in clients like Outlook.

What side of the argument do you fall on? Are you a threaded conversation advocate or an e-mail purist?
