Maybe the MailMate .plist files could be saved off (into source
control??) after you’ve got it working so that recovery for these
types of situations is shorter?

Very nice!
So I took r5970 for a spin. Thrilled by the new *Standard Single
Column*, as I said, especially for the correspondence pane. And
perhaps I’m imagining things, but it seems like navigation is a
smidge faster, too.
I spent a bunch of time tweaking my layout for the *Correspondence*
view and saved the new column arrangement as default. I then went to
have a cup of coffee.
When I came back, r5970 had crashed (Benny, logs were automatically
sent a few minutes ago).
When I relaunched,
• I was no longer in *Correspondence* view; MM had reverted to
*Three Panes*.
• All of my column adjustments were lost (see “Forgetful Columns
<https://freron.lighthouseapp.com/projects/58672-mailmate/tickets/3186-forgetful-columns#ticket-3186-1>
”).
When I re-entered *Correspondence*, I discovered:
• The *Correspondence* pane had also reverted its settings.
Somehow, I’d hoped that the massive rewrite would’ve solved the
Forgetful Columns problem, but I guess not.
Honestly, I miss using MailMate as my day-to-day email client — but
I can’t afford to spend ten or fifteen minutes every two or three
days to retrain it to work the way I want. (Yes, it does usually take
that long: MM sets itself to a set of columns that is wrong in almost
every way — including the infernal “Outline Column,” which
resets to “From,” which means I can’t delete the “From”
column until after I’ve changed the “Outline Column” to
something else. I like to use a “Correspondents” column, but that
makes “From” redundant.)

Icing on the cake: we’ve had bad flooding here in Vermont
<https://vtdigger.org/2023-july-flooding/> earlier this week, and the
internet was very flakey. Over and over again, my wife, my child, and
I all had to remember to keep telling MailMate to “Take Fastmail
Online” and “Take iCloud Online” and “Take Gmail Online.”
*Please*, can’t the default be that MailMate will just poll every
minute or two and *automatically* bring it back online? Pretty
please?
