Description of problem:

thunderbird update to 45 exchanged the column "from"  with "counterpart"

Resetting to defaults did not do the trick EXCEPT ONE mailbox subfolder out of 7.

The usage of "use Defaultcolumns" ( sorry, use it in german ) does not change anything except in the above case. We can assume, TB45 sees "counterpart" as the default. ( assuming that, the onetime "working" reset to the real defaults, must be a mistake of it's own ;) )


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Apr 25 12:01:35 INFO Upgraded: thunderbird-45.0-2.fc23.x86_64


How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:

It's just visible in any mailbox since the upgrade.

Actual results:

wrong, never selected column "counterpart"

Expected results:

Same as ever column "ever"

You probably mean Correspondents column, it seems to be desired change, see: http://www.ghacks.net/2016/04/13/thunderbird-45-0-has-been-released/ and look for Correspondents column. In case that's the issue, I'm afraid we'll have to close this report as not a bug.

Looks it is not a bug, just a bad idea by some devs.

I have a blog running how to circumvent it, and it's one of the top 10 blog articles. So much for "desired" :D
