Blogger Chris Ilias loves viewing threaded conversations in Thunderbird, but he gets annoyed that every time he sorts messages by clicking on another column name (say, by sender), the threaded view goes away and he's left staring at a jumble of unrelated messages. Luckily, he found a solution.

Go to Tools->Options->Advanced->General, and click on "Config Editor". In the Config Editor, search for the preference mailnews.thread_pane_column_unthreads. Double-click on it, which should change the value to false.

In Windows, you can create a shortcut to a folder (for example, by right-click and dragging the folder from the Windows Explorer onto the desktop and selecting “create shortcut here”). Then, when you double-click on the shortcut, Explorer opens back up and displays the contents of that folder. There are four default characteristics when this happens:





1. It will open a single pane window (no Explorer bar).
2. It will allow the user to navigate out of the folder (i.e. to the folder’s parent and beyond).
3. The default is for none of the items in a folder to yet be selected.
4. If there is already an open Explorer window displaying that folder, then the operating system will switch to that existing view, as opposed to opening a new one.





All of these behaviors can be customized.
