Very useful!

@kevinohlsson No, it's only changing it in your Gmail account. You can't fiddle with other Gmail (or otherwise) accounts, that would be dangerous :) This feature is only to help you better rename emails for later use/search.
@kevinohlsson, @rfreling's response is accurate with this Chrome extension. However, if you want it to change the email subject on the recipient's side too because you're on the same team for example, you can with a different product called Gmail Label Share:

Hi hunters!
Sometimes we receive emails whose subjects aren't clear, and it makes it hard for us to find those emails when we need them.
Take the email that I received in the movie above. It's a trip that I booked to Geneva, but you'd never know it from its subject title! And we all know how irritating it could be to be searching for your flight confirmation # when you're at the airport with little to no connectivity, and maybe running a little late.
This is also helpful for inbound support, or sales emails. When you receive an email from a customer whose subject name is "Problem" or "Hi", it'd be wise to rename those emails to "Problem: Backup time delay" or "Sales: Needs a conference call."

Thanks for reading our story, and we hope you enjoy finding your emails more easily!
@nassaraf This is fantastic not to mention convenient. I'm curious how it's works, where is the new subject text actually stored? What about if I removed the extension, would the subject be reverted?
@braunshizzle @nassaraf I'm wondering the same. The main reason i'd like to do this, would be to group convos better. Problem is, I don't think this will do that, considering it would require actually changing the subject via a google API (that i don't think exists atm?)
@braunshizzle Thanks, and great question, Braunson! #RenameEmail changes the subject line of your email indefinitely. Once you change the subject, it never reverts back to the original subject line even if you uninstall the Chrome Extension after having changed it.
@giologist @braunshizzle APIs are our wheelhouse! You can use this to group conversations within the same thread, because it breaks up the thread. This is especially helpful when you have a thread with over 20 responses! This image should help both of you: 
@arielassaraf Thanks, Ariel! @hadartweets, nice to meet you! ✌️ Is this something you were looking for? 🤓
@roee Thank you, Roy! We don't know why Gmail didn't implement that feature either!
@masone Salut, Christian! They don't, sadly... Gmail only lets you change the email subject when you forward or reply back to someone. With this tool, you can just change the email subject at any time. Take a look at the movie above to see how I used it for a trip. :)
@alexey_zaharchenko Hi Alexey, there are 2 different scenarios that come to mind:
1) Any email client will see your new email subject, but not see the messages in the thread prior to your email subject change. So to them, they'll never know what the original subject or message was.
2) If both email clients are your own, and you just want to access your email from either email client (ie Gmail and MS Office 365 Mail), it will not be reflected unless you have your 2 email clients synched with each other. You can do that here: http://cloudhq.net/sync/gmail
