Possibility to not show message threads at all.

[HoundRock]

With the last update, message threads got introduced. 

I can turn them off per folder, but I would like to turn the option off in its entirety. No message threads.

There is no option for that right now. Could you please add one? More users are struggling with this. 

Kind regards!

Thunderbird has forced Threads on us as the Default. What so many people are saying is that Threads is a terrible option. We WANT THAT GONE!! I should NOT have to figure out how to disable Threads. Thunderbird should NEVER have made it the default.

Great tip but I can't find that in Thunderbird settings so I have to unthread each folder individually and every time there's an upgrade I seem to need to start all over again.

In my opinion threads are only good for people who can't organize their emails. Apart from that these days EVERYBODY is forced into using emails and the internet regardless of their IT skill and what little skill I had has drastically declined since I retired and no longer have easy access to people who know more than me.

But IT wizkids don't care about their customers. The constant changing and upgrading merely keeps them in a job.

I hate the threading feature. I turn it off, and it comes back on. Folder after folder, subfolder after subfolder. It's enough to make me consider using another mail client (after 10+ years). I don't care if you support threading, just support NOT threading.

For the love of GOD, will you please either do away with this 'threading' thing entirely, or at least add a way to turn it off for all emails completely!!!!???

What do you want to stop threading?

If it's the webrender go to config editor and change gfx.webrender.multithreading to false.

Please stop the default sort by threaded. My eyesight isn't so good and I have a difficult time seeing the underline. Please give us the option of turning threaded off entirely. And while you're fixing things, the File>Edit>View bar needs to go back to the top of the interface. Currently it's under the Write>Previous>Next bar and I can't reverse them.

Thanks for all the hard work.

So, I'm guessing you're talking about Thunderbird, at config editor change mailnews.default_view_flags to 0.

This will turn threaded into unthreaded.

[bermanart]

Yes. Thunderbird. Thanks

[bermanart]

can you please give me the path to the file. Thanks

[Mizar]

Go to Config> scroll down until you find Config Editor click it> search for change mailnews.default_view_flags then set it to 0

[bermanart]

I found it already. Thanks. Is there a way to reverse the top menu bars? The File>Edit bar is on the second line and the Write>Previous>Next is on the top line.

Thanks.

Though it may not be for everyone it is possible with css.

[retheiss]

I agree wholeheartedly.  PLEASE get rid of the default threaded setting - it's driving me crazy !!!!!

Turn off all Threads or all Conversations for ALL folders in Thunderbird.

I want one choice to Turn off all Threads or all Conversations for ALL folders in Thunderbird.  Not having to do multiple folders  in multiple mail boxes

Created an account to say the same, THREADING SUCKS!

I never asked for this "feature" and hate the hassles involved in turning it off.

Is there any way of turning off automatic updates, before it turns this horrid system back on again?
