Turning off the cascade
Hello, In the latest THUNDERBIRD, I cannot sort incoming emails into unread because the program shows a cascade of the first thread to the last one, and I want to see only the last unread message from a given thread, as in the old program. how to turn it off?

Have a look at this older question because I offered a load of information on setting up defaults. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1422833
Basically developers have forced some defaults which have not been well received by some people. You may need to reset the preferences for wanting new folders to use 'unthreaded' and 'descending' as default.
There is another easy way to see all unread in a selected folder. This works very well particulary if using threaded view because it immediately removes all the clutter. It's also handy of you've missed an email which may be scrolled out of view.
Use the Quick Filter toolbar Click on the 'show only unread mesasges' envelope icon click on it again to go back to normal view.
