An email thread, also known as an email chain or conversation, refers to a series of related email messages that are grouped together based on the same subject or topic. When individuals reply to or forward an email, their responses become part of the thread, creating a chronological sequence of messages. Email threads help organize and maintain the continuity of discussions, making it easier for users to follow the flow of communication on a specific subject within their email inbox.
