I want to add my voice to the myriad complaints that have already been posted about the way Thunderbird has started threading messages!
I loathe threading!
Like many others, I do not understand why there is not a simple menu option, or something in the settings, that lets me turn OFF threading, permanently, in every folder of every account.
There are so many complaints about this that I just had to stop reading them after half an hour. I agree with most of them, so I won't reiterate every single point. I couldn't see any poster defending threading, and I couldn't see anything from a developer explaining why this is forced on users. Is it simply a matter of the developers themselves liking it, and not caring what the user base thinks? I respect the developers. I respect Linus Torvalds too, but I don't hesitate to call him out when he says something really dumb, which he does depressingly often. Being a developer gives you the right to control a product, but it does not make you right.
I am a monthly financial contributor to Thunderbird. I have used it for many years. But this is a deal-breaker for me. If a solution to this problem isn't forthcoming, *soon*, I will abandon ship. The withdrawal of my small monthly financial support won't hurt the team. I only mention it to establish that I have been a committed Thunderbird user who demonstrates that commitment in practical terms.
