        Hi,
I thought this is saved within a folder view (then you would be able 
to overwrite the Messages view to get the right default for you), but 
it's not saved there, thus no, there is no exact option for the 
default.

The ~/.config/evolution/mail/state.ini contains GroupByThreads keys 
for each folder, but it's only for the visited folders. The default is 
hard-coded to group by threads in the code for a newly visited folders.
You can ask for an option (probably just hidden in dconf), though the 
current evolution has Edit->Preferences->Mail Preferences->General
tab->'Apply the same view settings to all folders' option, which might 
do the trick too.
        Bye,
        Milan
