Description

When I disable the Threaded view in display settings, It doesn't apply to the list immediately. I should close the app and open it again to see threaded view disabled.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to Settings
  2. Go to General Settings
  3. Go to Display
  4. Uncheck Threaded View
  5. Back to the messages list
  6. Settings didn't apply
  7. We should restart the application to apply

Expected behavior
It should apply immediately after uncheck

Environment (please complete the following information):

  • K-9 Mail version: 5.803 (28003)
  • Android version: 11
  • Device: Emulator
  • Account type: IMAP

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Settings > General Settings > Display flow on Android and trace how the Threaded View preference reaches the messages list. Done means unchecking Threaded View updates the list immediately without restarting the app; add or update a regression test if the relevant test area is found.
