Gmail – Quickly see all message from a sender in Gmail

gmail

I'm trying to move over to Gmail.

Here's something I do all the time in another mailer. I receive a message from somebody ("LYN LINDY", for example). While reading this message I want to see all of the other messages in my archive from the same person. Is there an easy way to do that in Gmail?

Use the advanced search operator. In the search box, type from: lyn and you'll get an auto-complete of email addresses. Pick the one you want and you'll get all email from that person. You can also use to: lyn to see email you sent them.

You don't have to use Google's Conversation View if you don't want. Then you can do whatever you want with individual messages.

Gmail filter not from address conversation

This answer assumes that all of the automated emails are sent from the same address.

I'm not sure how you've created your filter, but try filtering by the from: field only. If the automated sender's address is always something like no-reply@domain.com then set up your filter to filter on:

from: no-reply@domain.com

This will make sure all automated email will hit the filter. Then, when someone else replies to that address, the new sender's email will be different from the one listed in the filter, and allow it to hit the inbox as normal.
