Permanently Turn Threading OFF in Thunderbird 102.13.0
How do I PERMANENTLY turn off THREADING in Thunderbird 102.13.0? No matter what I've tried, threading turns back on automatically. I have read ALL previous threading questions and answers but NONE of them stop Thunderbird from instituting threading IMMEDIATELY after I change the view with the top-far right "Select columns to display" to deselect threading.
If I could take a screenshot to show my issue, I would but don't know how.
I have been trying to stop threading for weeks now and now have to give up and ask this question. Threading does NOT work for me and I need help, soon.
Thanks for your patience and help,
Oldheart

This is the official (to my knowledge) documentation. Well worth the read https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/message-threading-thunderbird
Here is my own documentation on threading, duplicating the above, but it may help: 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 that demonstrates the following steps:
First, highlight a folder that you have set to unthreaded In the Message List view, in the column header, on the far right, open the options button that shows context menu. : 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.
ALSO, for future installations of Thunderbird, - install Thunderbird and exit prior to setting up accounts
- create a simple text file with name of user.js with these lines: // Set default threading to UNthreaded ### <== this line is optional, just for documentation
user_pref("mailnews.default_view_flags", 0);
- copy the user.js file into the profile - now, when you start Thunderbird, unthreading will be the default. Problem solved.
