UNTHREADED view ~ how do I do it?
Hi! I recently switched to a Macbook after using T-bird for over a decade on my PC Laptop. I never had "threaded" emails that I'm aware of. Now, not all, but some of my folders in my email appear as threaded conversations. I prefer to keep emails separate. How do I change the "folder" or email thread to appear as individual emails like 95% of my other folders?
THANK YOU!!!

You need to highlight 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: In config editor, you can change default that applies to NEW folders you set up: mailnews.default_view_flags 0=unthreaded
To set many folders, follow these steps:
In the Message List view, in the column header on the far right, open the options 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.
This isn't a perfect solution, but it does address the issue of unthreading many folders.

WooHoo! Thanks so much David! I never would have thought that it would have been under the "sort" heading! For some reason, I can create new folders and they don't actually default to threaded view, so it's normally not an issue but I'll certainly keep your Config Editor tweak in mind. Thanks again!
You're welcome. Thanks for the smile your note gave me.
Well David, it put a smile on MY face as well! Thanks again for one of the fastest and most accurate answers I've gotten from ANY forum :-)
