Threads in an email

[BobBunker]

Is there any way to turn off this annoying "Threads" feature - it buries half of what you want to find, and is a complete nightmare...  How can I turn it off please?

Thanks!

Hi,
If you go to

Give my IDEA a Thumbs Up, perhaps we can get Mozilla to give full User Thread functionality 🙂

I totally agree that one should be able to turn it off and/or disable it. 

When counting votes I used to be able to scroll through the replies and see all the individual votes.  Could even sort them as I filed them.  Now I have to go back one by one to manually look at the string.

Thank you for reaching out. We understand your frustration with the "Threads" feature. To disable it, you can go to your email settings and look for an option to "Turn off Conversation View" or "Disable Threads." The exact steps may vary depending on the email service you are using. If you let us know which email provider you use, we can provide more specific instructions such as check fab. Feel free to ask if you have any further questions.

Check fab? What does a credit card ad have to do with getting rid of threading

Yes turning off Threading is Easy! Menu View , Sort by, unthreaded and it's off.

You have to do that in every folder though.

When you've done it in one right-click somewhere on the line with the column headings and choose "Apply current view to folder and its children" at the bottom, then pick one of your accounts, then the top of the next list that comes up.  See picture as hopefully that'll make it clearer.

You still have to do it for every account and a simple On/Off setting would be much better.
