    Friends, I was cleaning emails in my Gmail account. I did nothing except deleted the all the emails in the trash. Odd thing is that all mails in my INBOX as well got deleted. It seems it's due to feature that GMAIL stores email as conversation. If one is deleted, then all related mails will also get deleted. Damn. :-) Milan G

      If you open a conversation you can delete the mails individually.

        In addition to what the other poster said this is the way the threaded mails work. It is really a nice feature if you are dealing with mailing lists as everything under the same topic ends up in one spot and if you are tired of it you can easily delete the whole topic.

          This is the one and only part of the gMail system development that Google contracted out to Microsoft.

              Hi Steve, I tried just now. I opened up a conversation in actual fact..email. I see no delete button for each conversation. Therefore I have to rely on the delete button available at the top of the page - which again deletes whole conversation.. Sucks. Thanks. Milan

                Click on the individual message you want to delete so that it is displayed, then click on the down arrow in the top right of the msg to bring up the menu.  There is an option "Delete this message".  I think that's what you want.

                  If you choose the checkbox, it means you are expunging a conversation. When you open a conversation, you can select to delete a particular email.
