How can I set the email message sort to descending date for all folders in all accounts?
How can I set the email message sort to descending date for all folders in all accounts? With many accounts with many folders each, manually changing the sort from ascending to descending is a lot of needless work. A global default is needed, and if there is one, I can't find it.

On your question: - set one folder to your preferences and highlight it - click the icon on right side of the menu bar of message list pane - click to apply current view to> and highlight 'folder and subfolders and PAUSE - a menu opens to left with account name. highlight that and PAUSE - another menu opens to its left with account name at top. CLICK THERE and a confirmation message will appear to confirm setting all folders in the account. - repeat the above for each account

I assume the icon is the one at the right hand end of the screenshot. If so, I don't have an apply current view to option.
I was referring to the one at right side of menu bar of the message list pane. See attached. I agree this can be confusing.
Ahh, that helps. But I don't have that header menu at all! Thunderbird Supernova 115.10.1, MacOS Sonoma 14.5 beta channel.
Thanks for taking the time to answer!
