[MlMt] 5969?

[Erik Mueller-Harder]

I love the “Standard Single Column” for the correspondence pane. Very nice!

So I took r5970 for a spin.  Thrilled by the new *Standard Single Column*, as I said, especially for the correspondence pane.  And perhaps I’m imagining things, but it seems like navigation is a smidge faster, too.

I spent a bunch of time tweaking my layout for the *Correspondence* view and saved the new column arrangement as default.  I then went to have a cup of coffee.

When I came back, r5970 had crashed (Benny, logs were automatically sent a few minutes ago).

When I relaunched,
 • I was no longer in *Correspondence* view; MM had reverted to *Three Panes*.
 • All of my column adjustments were lost (see “Forgetful Columns <https://freron.lighthouseapp.com/projects/58672-mailmate/tickets/3186-forgetful-columns#ticket-3186-1>”).
When I re-entered *Correspondence*, I discovered:
 • The *Correspondence* pane had also reverted its settings.
Somehow, I’d hoped that the massive rewrite would’ve solved the Forgetful Columns problem, but I guess not.

Honestly, I miss using MailMate as my day-to-day email client — but I can’t afford to spend ten or fifteen minutes every two or three days to retrain it to work the way I want.  (Yes, it does usually take that long:  MM sets itself to a set of columns that is wrong in almost every way — including the infernal “Outline Column,” which resets to “From,” which means I can’t delete the “From” column until after I’ve changed the “Outline Column” to something else.  I like to use a “Correspondents” column, but that makes “From” redundant.)

Icing on the cake:  we’ve had bad flooding here in Vermont <https://vtdigger.org/2023-july-flooding/> earlier this week, and the internet was very flakey.  Over and over again, my wife, my child, and I all had to remember to keep telling MailMate to “Take Fastmail Online” and “Take iCloud Online” and “Take Gmail Online.”  *Please*, can’t the default be that MailMate will just poll every minute or two and *automatically* bring it back online?  Pretty please?
