A thread is an original email message, and all of the replies to that message. With BFIS Connex E-mail organizing your mailbox into threaded messages, there is no more searching for a message in your trash to figure out a reply. You will notice that when a message is threaded, there will be a number in parentheses behind the sender's name. This number denotes how many individual messages the thread contains. This also helps minimize the number of messages within your labels/folders.
