Just Google It! -- Gmail 2. Conversations – Gmail groups all replies with their original message, creating a single conversation or thread, making it easier to understand the context of a message -- or to follow the conversation.

Just Google It! -- Gmail 3. Stars -- A special status you can give to messages or conversations. Starred items remain visible when you return to a conversation.  The white star means the conversation hasn't been marked.  The yellow star indicates that you've marked the conversation.
