Is there a way to turn off ALL threads other than 1 folder at a time?

I don't know why but last week all of my emails started sorting by threads. If I want to see all of my emails I have to change the sort option on each individual folder.

I'm sure lots of people like this feature but I HATE it! I have MANY folders and I do not have time to edit the sort view of them 1 at a time :(

I want to be able to see ALL of my messages, in ALL of my folders, ALL of the time. Is there any way to either turn threads or sort by threads off completely? Or at least change the sort by unthreaded universally instead of 1 folder at a time??

Please help! Thank you!

You need View>sort by>unthreaded. More info: In config editor, you can change default that applies to NEW folders you set up: mailnews.default_view_flags 0=unthreaded

To set many folders, follow these steps: First, set one folder unthreaded and highlight it. 

   In the Message List view, in the column header on the far right, open the options 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 solution isn't pretty, but it works. Needs to be repeated for each account.
