Keep Thread, Group and Column Sort Settings for All Folders, Including New Ones

I will complain a bit by Thunderbird UX, but my question is clear:

  • If I group one folder, and change its column settings, it will apply for the current folder only
  • I then can choose to apply these settings to Folders and subfolders within a certain group (like parent mailbox on children folders) (right clicking on column title)
  • But every time I create a new folder, I lose the sort and settings and group settings
  • So, how to keep it?

Also, my complain about UX is, well, just a complain:

  • Had to use addons to see a field with the actual address from the sender, instead of name
  • Had to search how to thread, because it's not on by default AND had to lookup how to add my answers to thread. IMO it's impossible to track a conversation through email without threading. Should be on by default IMO.

By the way, I've used to use Mail for MacOS. Now I am seeing the power of Thunderbird, but its UX seems obnoxiously difficult sometimes.

ALSO: would be good to keep the column width preferences saved too.
