2 thunderbird questions
there are 2 problems I have with thunderbird.. 1. when reading new emails in a folder, this is a local IMAP folder, and you get to the end of single new messages, and the next new message is in a thread that isn't open, IT STOPS READING. I have to click on another message in the folder, THEN hitn and it opens the closed thread of new messages.. Thunderbird 3.1.6 on Lenny 2. how do you change the VIEW-SORT-BY to threaded- globally? I keep finding folders that aren't sorted by threads... -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Go to Tools-Options-Advanced-General, and click on Config Editor. In the Config Editor, search for the preference|mailnews.thread_pane_column_unthreads|. Double-click on it, which should change the value to false. on my thunderbird it was Edit-preferences-Advanced-General, and that setting was already false. Have you heard of this thing called Google, Paul? :) That article is the #1 hit when searching for thunderbird threaded view in Google.

I keep finding folders that aren't sorted by threads... One way to make Mozilla Thunderbird more like Gmail is to turn on the threaded view of your email. However, by default Thunderbird does not maintain the threaded view when you sort by a column (such as sender, date, etc.). Chris Ilias' Blog explains that you can configure Thunderbird to maintain a threaded view even when you sort your email by column. http://lifehacker.com/264317/maintain-threaded-view-in-thunderbird Have you heard of this thing called Google, Paul? :) That article is the #1 hit when searching for thunderbird threaded view in Google. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Thunderbird 3.1.6 on Lenny I dunno how that n shortcut works, maybe is context based and stops when it founds unopenned threads... does it happen when you expand all threads? 2. how do you change the VIEW-SORT-BY to threaded- globally? I keep finding folders that aren't sorted by threads... If you mean a global switch for telling Thunderbird: hey, display all messages in all foldes in _this_ way (threaded) I've seen nothing for that (just manually specifying what kind of view you want for each folder) :-?
