Removing message threading from Thnderbird
Somehow my inbox started threading emails which is NOT what I want.
How do I remove threading. Instructions I have found (clicking on the last column header ...) do not seem to work for me in version 102.9.1
Please help,
Thanks, [email removed from public]

Full instructions are here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/message-threading-thunderbird
Here is my own documentation on threading, duplicating the above, but it may 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: (I creates a crude video that walks through the steps at
https://davidkirk.org/SettingDefaultFolderView.mp4 that demonstrates the following steps:
First, highlight a folder that you have set to unthreaded 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.
You lose me on the last two steps:
Hover over an account (please define "an account" if you would so that I know where to hover.
Where does this "next menu" come from?
-> In the next menu don't select a folder. Instead select the account name itself.
Thanks for your assistance with this.
By the way, I am trying to get my INBOX unthreaded. Is this considered a "folder"?
Yes, the inbox is a folder. By 'next menu', I am referring to the small menu that pops up when you drag the mouse. Please revisit my crude video. It highlights my Gmail inbox and then sets the Gmail account. https://davidkirk.org/SettingDefaultFolderView.mp4
I unthreaded a folder, then went to apply current view t and then to my account and asked to unthreaded it and its children.
No effect....
pls help, this threating is a PITA. You cannot erase a single note without the risk to loose aal.
I fully agree on the PITA aspect. The unthreading steps are clumsy and may take several attempts to succeed.
As far as I am concerned, it is "not to succeed".
Mozzilla did a major effort with the new version of Thunderbird, but the result is still below standard.
