Thank you. I created the path and file, quite and relaunched MailMate, 
but I don't have any new columns available in the View->Columns menu. I 
reran MM with console enabled. There are no messages with "column"; 
there are three messages with "outline", all:

Warning: Unexpectedly had to return empty selected set (mainOutline)

I'm running MailMate version 1.14 (6030).
