How do I stop "THREADING" on ALL Folders

I NEVER used Threading, but after the latest updates ALL my folders are now THREADED. I HATE Threading and the ONLY way I've found to disable Threading is go to EACH Folder and select VIEW-SORT-UNTREADED.

That is insane because I have MANY accounts and MANY folders within.

Is there any way to disable Threading and switch to UNTHREADED without going folder by folder?

Doesn't View > Sort by .. > Unthreaded do it?

@Wisewiz - As I mentioned, it does, but I'd have to go to EACH folder to switch them to Unthreaded.

I have too many folders. Looking for a simpler way. Maybe a setting to disable all threading.

If I right-click on an account name (e.g., johndoe@gmail.com) or on Local Folders and choose Compact, I think that compacts all folders in that category. Give it a try.
