I recently came back to Mac OS, with a new laptop, after Windows excessive push for copilot finally got to me ....
I went to set up Mac mail, I noticed something I don't like, see screenshot below:

Mac OS Mail view of a conversation thread:

If I click drop down on the thread, it only shows me the messages the other party sent, the ones that I sent, are missing. Is that normal behaviour? Conversation view is on, include other related messages also. To the right, in view pane, all appears, chronologically mine, then responds, etc etc

As an example, I own a license to eM Client, pro, this is what a conversation view looks like, and this is what I would like, all messages sent by myself and the other party are included.

Am I doing it wrong on Mac Mail, or am I asking too much?
I do like emClient, but honestly, if Mac mail worked the same way, I would prefer it for the integration to Mac OS.
Don't mind the Canary mail support thread, I have lifetime licenses for em client and canary pro back from time when it was a one time purchase. And then turned out Canary mail integrated copilot in to their system. a big lol.
 
All I have to say is that's not 'Mac Mail' that's something called 'Canary mail'.
I guess you need someone who knows Canary mail as that'll be where the problem is I think.

I know that it's canary mail. Do read the post please. 😀 I was testing canary, Mac mail and EM. Canary mail thread was just a good example with a lot of back and forth to show the conversation history, an example, not more.
