Description Kirk Strauser 2008-07-22 18:26:15 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

The set of columns in the message list is not bound to the width of that portion of the display.  If I resize my columns the way I want them and then resize the KMail window, then either I get a scrollbar because the columns are now too wide, or a set of narrow columns bunched up on the left of the display.

The columns should be linked to the message list box (sorry if I don't know the right term here) so that they grow and shrink with the KMail window.

This is what I normally see.

I shrunk the KMail window and now have to scroll to see the whole message list
display.  The same think happens if I right-click the list of columns and add
another one to display; instead of scaling all the columns down, it tacks the
new one onto the end.

This is also annoying if I enter a folder with a lot of messages with really
long subjects or senders.  Ideally, maximizing the window would enlarge those
columns proportionally so that I could see more information.  As it stands, I
have to manually resize them, and when I un-maximize the window they no longer
fit in the display (see: "toobig.png") until I fix them again.
