Snapshot of auto-size column (with abnormal large width)

The width of column in list of messages is resized everytime the software restart, I try everytime to set the correct width but is frustrating. Also the function for auto-width column not working good (for me), set abnormal large first column

There was a regression in Qt 5.10. If you were using that version, please check if using Qt 5.9 or 5.11 makes a difference.

Info system

I actually use Qt 5.9.5 on kubuntu 18.04

I can confirm (kontact 5.13.3)

It does not happen always, but approx. every 3rd start of kontact.

A workaround to restore the layout is to:
* right-click on table header
* Select "Adapt Column Width"
(This is not persistent, though)

kmail header not ok

Another confirm from me, in my case the size column gets wider and the date column gets narrower, making it hard to read as in the screenshot.

Unfortunately this doesn't work for my use case, it makes date and size columns way wider than I like.

For me this started to happen without restarting kmail, just switching between folders can make columns resize weirdly.

It's getting very annoying, having to resize kmail's columns 5/6 times a day :(
