Systems, methods and computer readable media for persistent conversation and email integration are described. Some implementations can include a method comprising receiving a persistent conversation communication message sent from a first user to at least one other user, and adding the message to an email thread associated with the persistent conversation. The method can also include storing the persistent conversation message as part of the email thread, and creating a new email thread associated with the persistent conversation when a predetermined condition is met, wherein the condition is one of an elapsed time or reaching a predetermined number of messages in the email thread. The method can further include rendering a displayable version of the persistent conversation within an email client, the displayable version including a continuous display of email threads associated with the persistent conversation.
