I have my Unified Inbox set for View>Sort By, with Date, Descending, and Grouped By Sort checked. I have to expand the individual dates every time I start Thunderbird or if I go to a different folder, then back to the Inbox. Is there a way for the dates to automatically expand or to remain in an expanded state rather than collapsed by default? Thank you.

Sorry krrath My mistake; I should have read your information correctly as you are not actually talking about threads.

I've checked bugzilla and located that the same or at least very similar bug was posted ages ago

I'd like to draw your attention to the last comment. The person posted a workaround. Could you try it and see if it works for you.

oberwipf 2015-10-25 20:38:42 PDT It seems I have found a workaround for me. Now, all groups are expanded, when I select Unified Inbox. Hopefully it works for you all, too.

1. select Unified Inbox 2. View > Sort by > Threaded 3. View > Threaded > Expand All Threads 4. View > Sort by > Group By Sort

Funda le mpendulo kwimeko leyo 👍 1

'Expand all threads' is grayed out and inaccessible.

Inputting "*" with the keyboard when the focus is on the message pane or window should expand all threads. Does that work?
