Sort view (of all folders) by 'unthreaded' as default
Hello!
Is there a way to change the sort view (of all folders) to 'unthreaded' as default instead of the current default being 'threaded'. (See attached image)
Since the last update, I have to manually change the view to 'unthreaded' for each folder each time I restart Thunderbird. Very cumbersome.
Perhaps somewhere in the Config Editor?
Kind regards

It's messy, but this info should help:
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. (I created crude video of the steps at https://davidkirk.org/SettingDefaultFolderView.mp4 ) 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.
