Bring up Thunderbird, and set up the columns in the mail window to taste see:

shutdown Thunderbird. When I restart Thunderbird, the column configuration has
changed. See: http://www.blythe.org/users/bob/bugzilla/Setup-After-Restart.jpg

Note this behavior is associated with the Default account's INBOX only. I have
changed the Default account to another account, and the trouble always moves
with the the Default Account, which is always the first listed in the left
panel, and only affects to the inbox.

One more piece of evidence; I am using the Consol, My partner is running
Remote-X from a laptop, using the very same Thunderbird, and she does NOT have
this trouble. I observed this in the previous version we were using, 0.7.3, and
it remains the same in this 0.8 version as well

Redhat Linux 9 here on a 1ghz Dell, with 500MB Ram 
See:http://www.blythe.org/users/bob/bugzilla/Setup-Info.jpg for Extension and
version information.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up columns in Mail
2. Restart Thunderbird
3. Observe Column settings all changed

Mnenhy is responsible for allowing per-folder column configurations, so I 
believe this is not a Thunderbird bug.
