Hi,

Sorry about my non-existent Spanish. ;-)

If I understand your question correctly, there is no need for an extension.
At the top of your message list you should see column headings.  A few of
them are icons. For example, a paper clip is used to indicate attachments.

One of those icons looks like a dark oval with a small hook underneath,
which is a "speech balloon" used in many comic books, cartoons, etc.
Clicking that will sort your messages by "threads".  If you hold your
mouse over it for a few seconds it should give a small pop-up hint that
says "Click to display message threads".

On my display, this column is to the far left.  If you don't see anything
like this, then click the icon on the far right (which is a bit hard to
describe).  Holding the mouse over it reveals the pop-up hint "Click to
select columns to display".  Click it and select "Thread".

Hope that helps.
