<p dir="auto">I have had such issues with using default columns in junk, draft, and sent mailboxes. I mean setting the default columns does not stick. However, these three mailboxes actually need different columns for practical use, so I did not fight it. The custom column settings for these mailboxes stick. They just ignore the default columns. </p>
<p dir="auto">Ben wrote once that the only possible fix for such issues is to start over with mailbox related states (column selection/width/order and threading mode). That is to Quit MailMate and execute this line:</p>
<pre style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:5px 5px 5px 5px; margin-left:15px; margin-right:15px; max-width:90vw; overflow-x:auto; padding:5px" bgcolor="#F7F7F7"><code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0" bgcolor="#F7F7F7"> defaults delete com.freron.MailMate MmMailboxRelatedStates
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">Then arrange the desired columns for one of the mailboxes (besides the 3 above) and set the new default.</p>

<br>
I asked about the status of this annoying bug a while back. I gather it's low priority, but I really need something to make this more bearable.<br>
<br>
The problem is that I use a "standard for me" set of columns for viewing all my mailboxes. However, they keep reverting to the "standard for mailmate" columns. It's gotten so I have to redo the columns every time I switch mailboxes.<br>
<br>
I use the View>Columns>revert to Default columns about every five minutes while looking at my mail. This is highly annoying.<br>
<br>
For a while, I could go to a mailbox that had my defaults columns still being honored and do View>Columns>Use as default and then some or all of my mailboxes would be okay again. Now, however, I only have two mailboxes that consistently still have those defaults. What will I be able to do when there are none anymore?<br>
<br>
Is it also possible that there is something I can do to make doing "revert to default" and "set as default" be keyboard short cuts?<br>
<br>
Can I change the "real mailmate default columns" to be the ones I want permanently somehow deep inside the secret command zone of Mailmate?<br>
<br>
I really like and depend on Mailmate's power and otherwise good user interface, but this constantly being pecked to death by ducks annoyance is getting me down.<br>
<br>
Has anyone got suggestions?<br>
<br>
