  1. Open your Microsoft 365 mailbox and navigate to the folder containing the emails you want to unthread.
  2. Select the first email in the thread you want to unthread.
  3. Right-click on the selected email and choose "Unthread" from the context menu.
  4. Confirm that you want to unthread the emails by clicking "Yes" in the pop-up dialog box.
  5. The emails will be unthreaded, and you'll see them displayed in a flat list.

Method 2: Using the "View" menu

  1. Open your Microsoft 365 mailbox and navigate to the folder containing the emails you want to unthread.
  2. Click on the "View" menu at the top of the screen.
  3. Select "View Settings" from the drop-down menu.
  4. In the "View Settings" window, scroll down to the "Threaded" section.
  5. Uncheck the box next to "Threaded" to disable threading.
  6. Click "OK" to save your changes.
  7. The emails will be unthreaded, and you'll see them displayed in a flat list.
