    Changing column views

    When I go into view-> columns and change the columns that I want to see in my
    view, it only saves the changes for that session. IE when I go back into
    Mail later it has reset to the original columns! How do I keep the view
    changes that I want permanently??

    Different groups of WM folders have separate column headings to select, so
    you need to do it in the specific folder.

    Try another method of setting your columns, Right click on one of the column
    headings and choose Columns, select the ones you want on a per folder basis.

    Doing this makes no difference. I should have advised that it only does it
    on 'imported' folders, not local folders. Never mind, but does look like a
    bit of a glitch....
