You may want to check your settings:
In the Mail app, choose View in the top menu bar > Organise by Conversation
If that is off (not ticked), you can click it so it is ticked (on)

If setting was already ticked, yet not working.
The update to iOS 26.0.1 provided some bug-fixes and more, so if you haven't already, you may want to update your MacOS. (As always, it is wise to back-up Mac first)

There's another setting you might want to check:
With the Mail app open:
Click "Mail" in the menu bar at top left
Choose "Settings"
In the window that opens click "Viewing" at the top
Under "Conversations" .> See whether you want to click (tick) any of those checkboxes
My Mac has an older MacOS, yet the screenshot below may help:
Hi,
Upon engaging in a new conversation, it is behaving properly with that new one. Go figure! Not sure why it hasn't worked on the first conversation after the MacOS upgrade.
Yes, I'm on the latest MacOS update version.

Thank you kindly for your reply, Ron. Seems a lot of re-indexing etc. and more, goes on in the background after such a major update. That takes up energy, memory and space, until the process is complete.
Good to know all seems ok now. Cheers :-)
