700843 - "Grouped by Sort" view is not saved in Unified Folders

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 387098

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

Description

As reported here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/803593

Sorting the email "By Sort" (i.e. by some date) does not work properly with the Unified Inbox folder. When I do:

- Go to Unified/Inbox, set View->Sort By->Grouped By Sort.
- Expand all by Ctrl-A
- Navigate to another folder
- Go back to the Unified Inbox

At the last step, TB should remember that all the 'threads' had been expanded. Instead, they're all collapsed, which is inconsistent with the way it works with all other individual folders. IMHO, this makes this option unusable, as I have to expand the thread *every time*. This problem occurs in all Unified Folders. Individual account folders work as expected, i.e., they remember whether the thread was collapsed or not.

Thanks.
