[MlMt] "Edit Mailbox" buttons are cramped

[Henry Seiden]

I went back to release 6048 and found NO DIFFERENCE. Icons were 
displayed there.

Then I went back further still, to version 5673 (2020 vintage). That 
version uses a row of sub-menus to edit rules. None of these changes 
seem to be specifically documented in Release notes I could find.

All said, I’m happy with my icon layout and have no knowledge of ways 
to change the settings further in the current release. Based on my 
findings, I suspect the layout settings of Rules Window may be some 
combo of settings preferences from Shoshana’s settings that were 
improperly migrated over time.

**Example**
I used my current settings to check in the two above versions and they 
hold when going back and forth.

Why do I say this? So far, two people at least have the icons by default 
as the window display of that menu and old versions used a different 
type of Rules window altogether. So if if you jumped the shark for 
example, going from a very old version to a very new one without 
stepping through the iterations as many of us did, your settings did not 
correctly migrate.

Sorry, but the only alternative I can think of is a clean install of 
MailMate app instead of migrating by simply reinstalling.  Benny may 
have other ideas of getting from text > icons in the Edit Rules window.


Respectfully,
