Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/115.0

Steps to reproduce:

Environment: TB 115 64-bit / Windows, IMAP accounts (no local folders)

  • In the message list, I configured a custom column selection and column order that is different from the default.
  • I applied that selection and order recusively to all folders of the respective account.
  • On several folders of that account, I applied "Repair Folder" (folder context menu -> "Properties" -> "Repair folder".

Actual results:

  • In each case, the respective folder got repaired as expected, but the custom column selection and column order was destroyed and reverted to the default.

Expected results:

  • The folders should have been repaired leaving the current custom column selection and order intact.

Further information:

Since this happens every time, and since we have to use "Repair folder" frequently in recent times, this is a real pain. It happens with every of our IMAP accounts. I don't know where TB stores the column order and selection, but it shouldn't be that of a problem to keep it intact during folder repair or to restore it after folder repair, so we hope for a soon fix :-)

Best regards, and thanks in advance,

Binarus
