It seems I have found a workaround for me. Now, all groups are expanded,
when I select Unified Inbox. Hopefully it works for you all, too.

1. select Unified Inbox
2. View > Sort by > Threaded
3. View > Threaded > Expand All Threads
4. View > Sort by > Group By Sort

I suppose "Expand All Threads" and "Collapse All Threads" trigger an
internal flag, that is also utilized by "Group By Sort".

Please note: When groups are collapsed, they become expanded after
leaving and reentering the message folder. This means either having all
groups collapsed or all expanded.

Works even after restart of Thunderbird. I use a "custom view" on
Unified Inbox. I guess this works with other message folders, too, but I
haven't tested on this. Thunderbird 31.2.0, Gentoo Linux.

  "Grouped by Sort" view is not saved in Unified Folders

Bug description:
  Hi,

  Sorting the email "By Sort" (i.e. by some date) does not work properly
  with the Unified Inbox folder. When I do:

  - Go to Unified/Inbox, set View->Sort By->Grouped By Sort.
  - Expand all by Ctrl-A
  - Navigate to another folder
  - Go back to the Unified Inbox

  At the last step, TB should remember that all the 'threads' had been
  expanded. Instead, they're all collapsed, which is inconsistent with
  the way it works with all other individual folders. IMHO, this makes
  this option unusable, as I have to expand the thread *every time*.
  This problem occurs in all Unified Folders.  Individual account
  folders work as expected, i.e., they remember whether the thread was
  collapsed or not.

  Thanks.
