1849000 - Make the cards view and vertical layout default for new profiles

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, task, P1)

Description

[Alessandro Castellani [:aleca]]

In the past month we fixed a lot of annoying list view issues and improved the vertical layout.
It's time to make the cards view and vertical layout the default state, but only for new profiles, with a migration to guarantee existing users won't get their settings changed.

• New empty profiles should get the Vertical Layout and Cards View by default
• Existing profiles shouldn't be affected
• All tests have been updated to ensure they work with the new defaults, except those that need to test specific table view features

Risk to taking this patch (and alternatives if risky): low for existing users as the patch migrates the current prefs and only shows the cards view and vertical layout to new profiles
