1. Collapse your folder hierarchy by clicking the arrow next to the top folder, such that you only have one "root" folder showing (and closed)
2. Alt-click on the arrow to expand ALL your folders under this root folder
3. Select (highlight) the first folder by clicking on it
4. Scroll down to the bottom of your folder list and SHIFT-click on the last one -- this will select (highlight) ALL your folders
5. In the menu bar, select View > Organize by conversations -- this will set conversation view to ON for all folders
6. Repeat step 5 a 2nd time, and this will REMOVE conversation view from all folders
This works, and it just takes a minute, no matter how many folders you have.
