<div style="font-family:menlo, consolas, monospace;">I love the “Standard Single Column” for the correspondence pane. Very nice!<br></div>
<div style="font-family:menlo, consolas, monospace;"><br></div>
<div style="font-family:menlo, consolas, monospace;">So I took r5970 for a spin. Thrilled by the new <i>Standard Single Column</i>, as I said, especially for the correspondence pane. And perhaps I’m imagining things, but it seems like navigation is a smidge faster, too.<br></div>
<div style="font-family:menlo, consolas, monospace;"><br></div>
<div style="font-family:menlo, consolas, monospace;">I spent a bunch of time tweaking my layout for the <i>Correspondence</i> view and saved the new column arrangement as default. I then went to have a cup of coffee.<br></div>
<div style="font-family:menlo, consolas, monospace;"><br></div>
<div style="font-family:menlo, consolas, monospace;">When I came back, r5970 had crashed (Benny, logs were automatically sent a few minutes ago).<br></div>
<div style="font-family:menlo, consolas, monospace;"><br></div>
<div style="font-family:menlo, consolas, monospace;">When I relaunched,<br></div>
<ul>
<li style="font-family:menlo, consolas, monospace;">I was no longer in <i>Correspondence</i> view; MM had reverted to <i>Three Panes</i>.<br></li>
<li style="font-family:menlo, consolas, monospace;">All of my column adjustments were lost (see “<a href="https://freron.lighthouseapp.com/projects/58672-mailmate/tickets/3186-forgetful-columns#ticket-3186-1">Forgetful Columns</a>”).<br></li>
</ul>
<div style="font-family:menlo, consolas, monospace;">When I re-entered <i>Correspondence</i>, I discovered:<br></div>
<ul>
<li style="font-family:menlo, consolas, monospace;">The <i>Correspondence</i> pane had also reverted its settings.</li>
</ul>
<div style="font-family:menlo, consolas, monospace;">Somehow, I’d hoped that the massive rewrite would’ve solved the Forgetful Columns problem, but I guess not.<br></div>
<div style="font-family:menlo, consolas, monospace;"><br></div>
<div style="font-family:menlo, consolas, monospace;">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.)<br></div>
<div style="font-family:menlo, consolas, monospace;"><br></div>
<div style="font-family:menlo, consolas, monospace;">---<br></div>
<div style="font-family:menlo, consolas, monospace;"><br></div>
<div style="font-family:menlo, consolas, monospace;">Icing on the cake: we’ve had <a href="https://vtdigger.org/2023-july-flooding/">bad flooding here in Vermont</a> 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.” <i>Please</i>, can’t the default be that MailMate will just poll every minute or two and <i>automatically</i> bring it back online? Pretty please?<br></div>
