Please is it possible to set a Global column order in emails? I would like the order of columns to be- attachment -present, Received -date, From-email address, Subject. And this to be for all email accounts I have setup (about 10) and all their children sub folders. So that is a lot of folders! I can see you can set it for one email address. And note certain updates have reset the order. The most important is the date at the left.

You may know already that you can copy column settings from one folder to all the folders in an account in one step. Click the right-most icon in the row of column headings above the table of messages. See the option near the bottom: "Apply columns to ..."

After that, to have the column settings applied to new folders, the add-on "Defaul Columns" works well.

Not built in to Thunderbird. There are new global defaults for sorting and threading, but not for columns. The add-on provides defaults, as you see.
