Just got Gmail - after the address it says "me (2)" what does this mean?

Just signed up for a gmail account. A friend sent me an email and I replied. In my inbox, after her address, it says "me (2)."





What does it mean?
Just got Gmail - after the address it says "me (2)" what does this mean?
That there's 2 messages in the conversation.





Gmail doesn't organize mail like say yahoo mail does. There are no individual messages, and there are no folders.





e-mails are tagged with the subject and type that you give it, and the work more like conversations, when you open one, it'll look more like a chat window. The most recent message will be at the bottom.





And when they reply the message will be bolded again and have "Their name (3)", click on it, and continue the convo.
Reply:I had the same blank face as you did - huh?! what is this? where did that original message disappear when I replied to it? and where did the other one which i forwarded disappear?!!!





this is unbelievably annoying - Gmail team thinks that they can deal with our messages better than we do. Why do I think so? because - 1) they (Gmail team) stick all messages together like links of sausages and 2) do not keep original messages separately, 3) they do not allow sorting messages (they offer something called labeling which 4) is even more annoying if you get into it), 5) they do not allow creating new folders so ALL your messages continue piling up in the Inbox.





Most annoying is 6) that they call messages conversations! Like I'm on the phone chatting away ... yeah, right! This is still e-mail, not telephone and I hope will never become one, as they are two completely different types of human interaction. It is called e-MAIL not e-PHONE!





Moreover, they 7) do not show the original format of the messages that arrived in your Inbox - 7.1) they change the date format to show just month and day, without showing the year when the message actually arrived, 7.2) they do not show the details unless you click on (annoying!) link - show detail - so once you get some message in your Inbox, first thing you do, you have to guess: who is this message from? when was it sent? whom was it addressed to, only me or someone else? That annoying -show detail- link is somewhere in a very inconvenient place, so you have to scan the whole screen before you find it....





The whole MAIL concept is lost here. Gmail is not intuitive and requires too much effort and too much human memory involvement to be convenient





That being said, I will delete my Gmail account as soon as I finish one important communication with an embassy, to whom I very stupidly gave my new Gmail account instead of beloved Yahoo. Please please Yahoo, do not change!
Reply:It means you have a message thread with 2 communication messages and you were the last to write.





For instance, Gmail welcomed you to their email service (1)


and then you replied to their email (2)


if they were to reply to you again, (3)


and you reply to them again (4)





Get it? Got it? Gooood... 8D
Reply:Hey Drewbie, XFile and the rest,





With Gmail, each message you send is grouped with all the responses you receive.





This conversation view continues to grow as new replies arrive, so you can always see your messages in context.





Hope that helps,
