HI, in

 In the Message List view, in the column header on the far right, open the options button that shows context menu.
 At the very bottom is the option:
 -> "Apply current view to..."
 -> "Folder and its children..."
 -> Hover over an account
 -> In the next menu don't select a folder. Instead select the account name itself.

I found it thank you. It works a treat

First, it's not easy. You need to highlight each folder and click View>sort by>unthreaded. If this applies to just a few folders, just repeat the process as necessary. If you have many folders or plan to add many new folders, you may wish a different approach, below:

More info: To change default for NEW folders, In config editor, you can change default that applies to NEW folders you set up: mailnews.default_view_flags 0=unthreaded

Config editor is available at Tools>settings>general and scroll to bottom right.

To set many existing folders, follow these steps:

  In the Message List view, in the column header on the far right, open the options button that shows context menu.
  At the very bottom is the option:
  -> "Apply current view to..."
  -> "Folder and its children..."
  -> Hover over an account
  -> In the next menu don't select a folder. Instead select the account name itself.

This isn't a perfect solution, but it does address the issue of unthreading many folders.

Thanks. I've seen this thread but when i go to Tools/settings/general , i don't know what to do anymore.

The config editor is at lower right. Click and type in

    mailnews.default_view_flags     and change value to 0    That sets any folder created in future to unthreaded. It does NOT change existing folders.

I think "mailnews.default_view_flags" was missing in your above message. But still didn't work.

I can't see this: -> "Apply current view to..."

 -> "Folder and its children..."
 -> Hover over an account
 -> In the next menu don't select a folder. Instead select the account name itself.

Sorry mailnews.default_view_flags was in your above message
