<p>I find the 'Correspondents' column confusing; I prefer seeing
'From' and 'Recipient'. I have reconfigured the columns for
some folders, but would like to disable the 'Correspondents'
feature entirely. I tried following the instructions given at
4min 20sec in the video announced below. But when I go to the
Configuration Editor (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="about:config" moz-do-not-send="true">about:config</a>)
and enter the search string
"mailnews.ui.upgrade.correspondents", no configuration option
appears.</p>
<p>How can I disable the 'Correspondents' feature entirely?</p>
<p>I am now running Thunderbird 45.1.0.</p>
