Ah, that's probably a KDE-ism. Since you haven't said what version you're on
and because newer versions of Trojita merged the main into the toolbar by
default, you have to click an icon in the toolbar to get access to it. It's on
a lower left corner on this screenshot,
http://trojita.flaska.net/img/2016-03-22-trojita-home.png, and someone
suggested that it looks like a hamburger :].

You invested time by opening a bugreport which means that you were surprised to
see broken threading -- I understand that, that makes sense, and I appreciate
the feedback. So maybe there's something that we can do so that we won't get a
similar bugreport in future? (Apart from actually implementing this :). )
Maybe a pop-up or a mouse-over text next to the action in the menu? Something
else? A color-coded icon showing the "level of suckiness" of the IMAP server?
I'm looking for suggestions.

Yes, other projects have solved this, but taking code from an external project
or even simply using a well-maintained library needs integration work. And
because I don't really need this feature myself, I don't see me investing my
time to write this. Patch review and guidance, yes, writing code, no.
