email threads

[fku]

How do does one remove email threading?  As to put it bluntly this seemingly imposed/enforced feature is the most time consuming, degenerative and mentally destructive method of destroying ones workflow. Its all dandy that one integrates new feature, however, this is an email client, if we wanted a chat room we would use chat rooms only. please advise as to how to remove this insidious and vile collation of messages you call threads.

Do this while on your Inbox and using Table View. First, change the view to Unthreaded:

- TB menu bar > View > Sort by > Unthreaded

(If you don't see the menu bar on top, press the ALT key)

- sort others items the way you want

- r. click any Message list column header (From, Subject, etc.) > click 'Apply current view to...' > 'Folder and its children...'

- navigate back to the top level (Account name) and click it

Then do this to prevent future threading:

- go to TB menu > Settings > General > scroll all the way down and click the 'Config editor' button on the right. Click 'Accept the risk and continue'

- search for mailnews.default_view_flags > change the value to 0 > click the check mark > restart TB
