# Changing the message list columns

If you want to change the columns in the mail message list, right-click on the column headers and choose either Add a Column… or Remove This Column.

If you have a small display, you can replace the Subject column by the Subject - Trimmed which will remove prefixes such as "Re:", or you can replace the From column which displays the sender's name and email address by the Sender column which will only display the sender's name.

If you would like to have the same column layout in all mail folders except for the Sent folder, you can enable Edit Preferences Mail Preferences General Apply the same view settings to all folders. Note that this setting also influences Group by Threads and the Message Preview visibility in all folders.

If you would like to have a different sort order and/or columns for specific mail folders, make sure that Edit Preferences Mail Preferences General Apply the same view settings to all folders is disabled. You can then change the view and save your changes under View Current View Save Custom View… and apply the view also to other folders.
