I have had a problem since I upgraded from TB 2.11 to TB 5.0 with
the layout of the Column Settings for each folder (Message List).

Years ago, with TB 2.11, I started out by choosing the "Use
Folder Specific Settings" option for all folders even though I
pretty much wanted to have the same settings for most of the
folders. When I transitioned to TB 5.0 (and a new wide-screen PC)
I wanted to realign the columns in all the folders. I adjusted
them in one folder and then used the "Copy Column Settings to..."
action on that folder to ALL of the other folders.

I found that it copied the settings to *some* of the other
folders, but stopped copying after about 10 or 15 folders (I
don't exactly remember and I've messed around with them since so
I can't figure it out.)

After some thought I decided that I should have used the "Use 
Account Default Column Settings" option but I can't seem to get 
that to work. Possibly I am not actually setting the "Account Default 
Settings" correctly.

I looked through the Account Properties dialog and could not find 
anything to do with the Column Settings then I selected the folder 
with the name of the account and used the View / Message List 
Columns selection to set the columns. I then set one of my folders 
to "Use Account Default Column Settings" but it had no effect.

I CAN manually set the columns for a particular folder by right 
clicking on the column header and choosing "Message List Columns" 
from the context menu, but I CAN NOT copy any column settings, 
even from one folder to one other at all.

I suspect that I have somehow corrupted a configuration file that
maintains this info and I am considering resetting and starting
over. Can any one tell me where this configuration is maintained?
And can I just delete such a file to clear the problem?
