Disable Thunderbird can group messages
Hello Team,
Threading is a useful way of displaying your message list in Thunderbird. Instead of just listing messages sorted by date, Thunderbird can group messages in tree-like structures by conversations. This is the default view starting from version 102.
Please give me a solution how to disable this feature. Not required for the thread.
Thanks

You need to highlight each folder and click View>sort by>unthreaded. If this applies to just a few folders, just repeat the process as necessary. If you have many folders or plan to add many new folders, you may wish a different approach, below:
More info: To change default for new folders, In config editor, you can change default that applies to NEW folders you set up: mailnews.default_view_flags 0=unthreaded
Config editor is available at Tools>settings>general and scroll to bottom right.
------------
To set many *existing* folders, follow these steps: (I creates a crude video that walks through the steps at
https://davidkirk.org/SettingDefaultFolderView.mp4
In the Message List view, in the column header, on the far right, open the options button that shows context menu. (See attached screenshot): At the very bottom is the option: -> "Apply current view to..." -> "Folder and its children..." -> Hover over an account -> In the next menu don't select a folder. Instead select the account name itself.
This isn't a perfect solution, but it does address the issue of unthreading many folders.

David,
I followed those steps (your reply - above; your video; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/message-threading-thunderbird) but the view was not applied to the other folders.
In my case I had removed the threading/grouping (View > Sort by > Unthreaded) and then followed the steps to apply to all other folders.
Upon moving to other folders they were still showing messages grouped/threaded.
I ended up going through and manually applying (View > Sort by > Unthreaded) to all folders.
It may be difficult to see, as it is the bottom option on the menu in video that does it. The one above just sets column view.
