Inbox with chosen header columns

I would like to see the date, the subject and, depending where I am, the sender in „Inbox“ or the receiver in „Sent Items“ of my „Flat Date View“. However, when I chose „Sender/Receiver“ in the configuration menu of the „Message List“ the sender is always displayed in both in „Inbox“ and in „Sent Items“, no matter what I chose.
I have tried to right click on the header. As you can see on the attached pictures, „Sender/Receiver“ is ticked but not shown. When I chose „Receiver“ from the list it is displayed in both the „Inbox“ and „Sent Items“ as everybody would expect.
Moreover, I use the glider in the header to adjust the column width. But whenever I start the computer again the column sizes have squeezed together. Also, I should be able to directly key in the column size but I cannot find where. Everything is greyed out.
I am using IMAP with openSUSE Leap 42.2, KDE Plasma 5.8.6., KDE Framework 5.26.0, Qt 5.6.1, Kernel 4.4.36-8 (64 bit).
Thank you,

When installing openSUSE Leap 15.0 I was full of hope that the issue I had reported would have disappeared. In vain, it is still the same:
I am using the “Flat date view – Classic”. I would like to see the message header, the date and the Sender when in the Inbox or the Receiver when in Sent Messages.
It worked in earlier versions of KDE. Since Leap it does not anymore. I think it is not too much what I am demanding. It works in the simplest webmail application but not in the highly sophisticated KMail.
Thank you,
Klaus-Dieter Fietze

Recently, my 12 years old laptop broke and I had to by a new computer. I decided to install openSUSE Tumbleweed:

Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20210302
KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.79.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Kernel Version: 5.10.16-1-default

The problem I reported above does not exist anymore.
Thank you,
