Description Martin Koller 2009-07-13 19:26:25 UTC

Version:           1.12.0 (using 4.2.96 (KDE 4.2.96 (KDE 4.3 RC2)) "release 142", KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_11.1)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.27.23-0.1-pae

Via right-click in the message list area header I add a new column, e.g. "Attachments" and move this column to the middle, e.g. right of the subject column.

When I now stop kmail and restart it, the Attachment column is not restored to the position I defined but it is placed to the far right.
Same happens with other new columns (e.g. Important)

My original column set is:
Subject, Sender, Date, Size

Does it happen after upgrade from KDE 3.x? It looks like duplicate of bug 183515.

Comment 2 Martin Koller 2009-07-29 17:58:57 UTC

Although I used on my account an "upgraded" kmail setting, the problem can easily be reproduces with a new user account (or a removed kmailrc).
E.g. select to show the column "Size", move it to the far left, quit kmail, restart it -> Size column is again on the far right.

I can confirm this is happening on new accounts, too. You don't need to add any column, just swap 'subject' and 'sender', restart kmail and voila!
kmail 1.12.2 on kde 4.3.1

Seeing the same behavior here with KMail 1.12.2 / KDE 4.3.1 from OpenSuSE 11.1. 

Swap "Sender" and "Subject" columns by dragging "Sender" to the left. Works great, but after restarting KMail, the columns are back where they were.

Add new column. Drag it in to some other position. Restart KMail and it'll be back over on the right.

KMail 1.12.3, KDE 4.3.3: I think the bug was fixed.

Comment 7 Vladimir Kanazir 2009-11-29 16:38:35 UTC

No, it is not fixed. I've tested exactly the same version of kmail and it still forgets column order...
