Claws-mail is the best windows client I have found for migrating imap email accounts between servers. But having to manually turn off thread view for each folder of each newly added email account is a step I would like to overcome. I want to turn off thread view, so that if a massive copy is halted midway, having thread view off makes it much easier to find where to start the next batch of copies within a folder.
In the .clawsrc file there's an entry enable_thread=1 so you can probably change that to 0 to disable threads (you can also probably use clawsker for that; either way, you'll need to exit claws-mail before editing this file). (I haven't tried this myself. I like threads)

I like threads) there is not a .clawsrc file on my pc. there is not any file containing the code: enable_thread in the installation's folder. the page i found for clawsker online doesnt have a windows version. thanks for your help, hopefully it will help me to search more effectively for answers.

You wouldn't expect a data file to be in the installation folder. Windows keeps programs and data apart. You'll find the file (named clawsrc) in C:\Users\<yourusername>\AppData\Roaming\Claws-mail (or equivalent, that's a W8.1 appdata folder). > the page i found for clawsker online doesnt have a windows version. It's a perl program. As far as I know it'll run on any system that has perl installed.
thanks for that. found and edited/tried several combinations of thread related items in the clawsrc file to no improvement. Is there any documentation on all the settings in clawsrc? with all my searching up to this point, i didnt even find clawsrc or clawster until this bugtracker thread got opened.
This option, (along with other defaults for new folders), has now been added to GIT.
