[opensuse] Default column fields displayed in Thunderbird
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Id like to adjust the columns that Thunderbird displays on each folder, and apply the change to every folder. That is, I want to change the defaults. One of the displayed columns is "Junk status", and I'd like to disable it on all, except on those folders I want. Reason is that I may accidentaly click on it, and then I have to chase over where the email was moved over. It maybe be useful on the Inbox, but not on any of the hundreds of archived folders I have, which normally should not be modified. Is there a way? - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

When displaying all the Folders in TB (ie main screen) on the extreme RH-side, at top, there is square with a blue square in it - it is shown after the last column's heading (in my case, Total). Click on that - look at the options. Will this do it?

As Basil points out, that last column in the mail list (not a blue square in my case, just a grid-like icon with a down-pointing arrow), has a setting at the bottom, Apply Columns to..., where you can select any folder, or any folder and its 'children'.

I tried. It only allows me to navigate to a determinate folder, not the parent of many folders. Try to select "Local Folders" line, for instance, and apply to all folders inside. Impossible. I can click on a folder inside and apply to its subfolders, but I have to click separately on the dozen "parent" folders inside "Local Folders". And the same for every account, some of which have several dozens of "parents". I want a setting to apply a default to absolutely every folder in one operation. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

It only acts on the currently displayed folder. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)

Hi,

Similarly, is it possible to adjust view of the folder? I. e. newest on top, thread view, keep all threads unpacked. I'd like to keep this as the only view for every folder.

Click on the heading of a column - and its contents will sort A-Z or Z-A or Recent to Earliest or Earliest to Recent. (And here I must give a hint re what you will find when TB version 33 rolls around: the sorting in the Contact List is done by sorting first last column then middle column followed by the first column (which contains names in alphabetical order :-) .)

Yes, but how to apply it to all the folders in once? ;-) That is the point. I'm just extending Carlos' question. Best, V. -- Vojtěch Zeisek Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux http://www.opensuse.org/ http://trapa.cz/

Yes, I agree. We both need something to adjust the defaults for every folder (present and future, not yet created) in one operation. Then we later can adjust the setting for some folders to be different from the defaults. Related to this, we need a way to define folder classes: these are incoming folders, these are sent type folders (and not necessarily inside an account). That is, on some folders it is important to see who sent it, in others who it was sent to. This is not so simple to adjust, specially if the folder is not named "Sent" under an account. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

I settings for every account, it is possible to set custom sent, trash etc. folder, which then gets respective icon and some settings (columns in sent folder). Name doesn't matter.

OK, I have no need for this type of action but I can see that if you RH-click on, say, Date in the Date column on the main screen it gives you the option to apply this to various folders/sub-folders in wherever. As I said, I have no need for this and therefore have never used this but when I RH click on Date I see those options. These don't do what you want to do? If not, have you looked in the TB HELP section or in the Add-ons?

It help, but it is just partial solution, as TB keeps collapsing the threads, from time to time, for example...

It does not apply to absolutely all folders. Only to a few. You can only apply to subfolders of a folder that can be selected (a directory that is a parent of many folders can not be selected, unless that directory is also a folder. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.

Are you sure about this? When I navigate to Apply Columns to... -> Folder and its children... -> Local Folders, I get a list of subfolders within Local Folders, but Local Folders itself is repeated as a selectable option at the top of that last list.

Ah! I see where you mean. Yes, I have first to display one folder. Apply first changes to that folder, then click apply to folder and children, find the account (for instance, "local folders", and then I get a list of folders in the account. At the very top of the list, the "tittle" is itself clickable! I did, on my master mail storage, which may have hundreds of folders, and Thunderbird started working 100% CPU for a minute or two... Thanks! :-) It is not a full solution (it is not a default to be applied to new folders), but it close enough. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
