If TB! will store message list column settings for each folder and also
for each folder views message list window, then why not store the
preview panes setting so that when you wish to toggle the preview pane
on and off, it doesn't go back to the default setting?
TB!'s search window originally didn't keep the user defined size. We
complained, we got retention of user defined sizing. The same needs to
happen for the preview window.
I also need to be able to save even one window layout as the default so
that if I switch to another layout, switching back to my default layout
will yield a layout with my own frame sizes etc. Now, if I switch to
another layout, I have to resize everything when I return the layout
that I was using before.

No, that's not what we mean. Turning off the preview window is not
resizing it. TB! should therefore remember the size it was before being
toggled off.

That sounds like an OSS/Freeware statement. :-) WRT commercial software,
the customer comes or should come first. I'd think they would first
focus on the issues that affect most of their targeted users.

Sure.

Ok, I'll give you that. :-)
