[MlMt] default columns keep forgetting its state

[Max Rydahl Andersen]

Had this issue again and just noticed its 1 year anniversary I asked how 
to reset the default columns.

Any hope on fixing this or if not add a button somewhere in preferences 
to manually and explicitly reset the settings ?
Something I think could be generally useful in case one have many 
folders and accidentally applied settings somewhere in the hierarchy and
can't find it ;)

p.s. I love mailmate!
