How to keep email list "expanded" TB 45.0?

Since I have upgraded to TB 45.0, the email listings are Collaped by Groups, rather than Expanded by Groups. Please provide a solution so that I may list all my emails in the Expanded mode as did earlier versions of TB.

Also, please continue to support TB in the future. TB is the best email client out there because it allows the user to keep multiple emails seperated into individual file sets.

Thank you,

Major

Just tested this and can see what you mean. If you manually expand each one and then go to another folder, upon reselecting it will either collapse all or only leave open the one group in which you had last selected an email.

But if you select:

  • 'View' > 'Threads' > 'Expand all threads'

then hop between folders, upon return it should still be all expanded.

I don't understand your "expanded by groups" and "collapsed by groups". I've been using TB45 on my several computers for a few days now and haven't noticed any significant change in its behaviour. So maybe I'm not using it as you do.

What are the "groups" you refer to? Is this the View|Sort By|Grouped By Sort feature?

Yes it is the Group by sort feature. The listing of emails used to be a full listing, in previous TB versions. Since I installed TB 45.0 the email listings are not expanded.

"'View' > 'Threads' > 'Expand all threads' that's not what I want. I want, let's say if I expand "today", "yesterday", "last week2, and "too weeks ago" but collapse "older" and then go to different folder or close programm, next time I open my Inbox I want to see the same as I left - some expanded but some collapsed. How to do that?
