You can only set this globally, not for a specific folder.

View - Threads - Unread

Press Alt or F10 to restore the menu bar in case it's hidden.

I used to be able to set it by folder. Removing the feature does not make the product better. I have no desire, for example, to see all the old spam, but I do want to see my old mail. I don't understand what the developers were thinking when they removed this capability.

You probably had an add-on installed for that.
