this is mostly an FYI that may shine some light on some things.

the "Threaded view" setting is not global, it is per-folder.

opening a folder you've never opened before will use the global setting
(which is in the config.xmldb). I think it defaults to off. There's
actually no way to set this via the UI that I can recall, but there used
to be.

also, make sure you are running bonobo-conf 0.16, as that is the only
version of bonobo-conf that will reliably save config settings when the
system has write errors.

as another aside, if you are out of disk space - settings may not
necessarily be saved, depending on whether or not bonobo-conf-0.16 is
able to save a tenporary copy (in the ~/evolution/ directory, not /tmp).

not sure any of these FYI's light up any lightbulbs as to why you may be
having problems.

now... assuming that doesn't solve it for ya, then the only other
explanation is that evolution-mail is not shutting down cleanly and is
thus not ever getting to the point where it flushes the settings to
disk. if you control-c or killev, this is likely the problem.
