Confirming that method (albeit modified a little bit) by [email protected] makes TB remember to expand everything by default. Steps in my case (I strongly recommend installing "ThreadKey" add-on, it makes this A LOT easier when you have a ton of accounts):
1) Open account folder (ie. Inbox) 2) View -> Sort by -> Threaded // Tap "T" with the add-on 3) View -> Sort by -> Expand All Threads // Tap "*" 4) Select other folder 5) Select the previous one 6) View -> Sort by -> Grouped By Sort // Tap "G" with the add-on Steps 4&5 were crucial for me, without them it looked like that "fix" didn't work at all. After doing the steps mentioned above, everything is working like a charm. I only feel bad for those who don't know/will not run into that method and are stuck with collapsing groups... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/803593 Title: "Grouped by Sort" view is not saved in Unified Folders Status in One Hundred Papercuts: Fix Released Status in Mozilla Thunderbird: Fix Released Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Fix Released 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.
