Guess I was the moron for updating to 115. Now even when I collapse all threads. It ignores this and automatically expands all thread whenever I click to another folder that also had everything collapsed.

For instance if I'm in Inbox for account1@gmail.com and collapse all threads but then click to say drafts in the same account or another account and then back to Inbox on account1, it automatically expanded the collapsed threads. What is the point of having an option to expand or collapsed threads if Thunderbird can't remember the status.


Hope this can get fixed as it is very frustrating to have functionality like this along with most of the sort options all being greyed out now.

Just to make this a little more clear, I'm on a Windows 11 Pro PC and had updated from 102.15.0 to 115.2.0 and I used to have my emails sorted by Correspondents / Sender and then I used the Grouped by Sort option under the View -> Sort By -> Grouped by Sort option.

When I have a folder grouped by sort. If I goto another folder and go back to that folder it does not remember the state of any groups on whether they've been collapsed or not. Whenever you go back to a grouped by sort folder, it ignores whether you've collapsed everything and loads the folder with everything expanded. I've also tried collapsing all with "\", the closing and reopening Thunderbird. It again proceeds to auto expand all of the groups. Hope this bug will get fixed soon, as I may have to just stick with 102.15.0 for the foreseeable future until it is fixed.

Well at least I can run 2 versions at the same time for now.

Totally annoying. The only solution seems to be every time I go to a folder that I want collapsed, I have to hit the \ (backslash) key after selecting the folder.

I don't have exactly this problem as my TB remembers the state of all threads collapsed ("\") or all threads expanded ("*") when I change folder.

But my particular problem is perhaps a subset of that problem: my TB doesn't remember individual thread state when I change folder.

It always returns to the default all collapsed or all expanded I previously set. So I can't have important threads expanded and the rest collapsed in the same folder. Every time I change folder and return, I have to manually reopen all the important threads to follow them (or close all the non important ones).

It is painful.
