Hello, I have the thread view off but it still groups email replies together and I have to expand each one. It also prevents emails from really being sorted by date as it will force emails from replies together under the oldest. How do I just show my emails individually as they arrived, not tied to any other email where I have to expand the original email? Especially when responses are from different people and it groups them under 1 name. Having threads turned off should have stopped them from grouping like that as it does in other email platforms. Thank you

You're very welcome. If you have many folders in the account, you can set them easily by first setting one folder and then replicating the settings to others. Here is a crude little video that demonstrates the steps: https://davidkirk.org/SettingDefaultFolderView.mp4
