Confirmed on Mac OS X.  Every time I start Thunderbird, I have to resize its window to something decent, over and over again.

Changes in three column layout is discussed for Thunderbird 2.0

"sort" & "group by" settings are regularly lost, too. couldn't reproduce it yet.

Seems to be fixed in TB 1.5! Can someone confirm this, before we change resolution to fixed?
