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