The latter often results in you losing track of the email you are dealing with at the moment related to the "bigger-email-picture".

A more convenient way for reading emails and still maintain the "conversation" threat you are dealing with. This extension place a "maximize" button on the email header bar and by clinking it, one are able to toggle between a maximize email message pane and an email Inbox managing display... without losing track of what you are currently busy with (i.e. limit email derailment).
