I should write something like "that's quite ridiculous that this wasn't fixed yet", but I'll give you some better info. I've been using TB from version 3-something, constantly updating it from one to another, using betas, then "earlybirds", up to now. I had v. 42.0a1 (I believe it was that one), that upgraded itself to 43.0a1 and it made me quickly revert to the previous one. I had NEVER had a problem with auto-collapsing threads and I've been using "grouped by sort" for years. The only issue that I've encountered was that after I've deleted the last message from "today" and something new was downloaded, I had to expand the "today" section. Minor nuisance I'd say. But the latest alfa made me pull my hair out like many of the people who felt that giant thorn in their bottoms. Every-damn-time I've had switched from one account to another in the unified view, the sections automatically collapsed. I am so happy that after I've reverted to an older version, after I expanded the sections, checked other account and went back, the sections were still same as I left them. I would seriously think about dumping that e-mail client if it would constantly collapse the sections. It's unforgivable! That's an app for reading e-mail that's turning that one simple function into a horror. Oh for crying out loud, Lotus Notes (or "IBM Notes", if you prefer) are a pile of turd, but even that app doesn't make you hate reading e-mails like the thread-collapsing Thunderbird. Seriously guys, fixing it can't be >that< hard! Missing a functionality that Lotus Notes has (or having a bug that it doesn't have) is beneath any imaginable dignity for somebody who turns a pile of code into usable software.

When I do: - Go to Unified/Inbox, set View->Sort By->Grouped By Sort. - Expand all by Ctrl-A - Navigate to another folder - Go back to the Unified Inbox At the last step, TB should remember that all the 'threads' had been expanded. Instead, they're all collapsed, which is inconsistent with the way it works with all other individual folders. IMHO, this makes this option unusable, as I have to expand the thread *every time*. This problem occurs in all Unified Folders. Individual account folders work as expected, i.e., they remember whether the thread was collapsed or not. Thanks.
