while on airplane I tried searching for "revert to different column" in 
mailmate archives and I actually found a bunch of reports of my exact 
issue.

Interesting enough the solution (or rather workaround) I found in an 11 
month old mail.

I ran that defaults delete and now my columns behave as expected and 
revert to default now uses my defaults, not mailmate default defaults.

I can see 2 people evaluating mailmate also reporting this as a bug that 
caused them to stay away.

So maybe worth looking into figuring out how/why MmMailboxRelatedStates 
fixes this ? :)
