Can you be more specific about the problems?

1. Do any messages pop up in the error console?
2. What do you mean by "entry"? A message? If so, are you using IMAP, NNTP, RSS, or POP?

sure. but you haven't given details that allow us to do EXACTLY what you do to see and reproduce what you see. numbered, step by step details are best. (that's why the bug form has them)

Perhaps the following will help - some of your bug reports have unanswered questions** from people who are trying to help you. Your choice, but we're not here to guess what you see.  If we don't enough information they get closed.  Ref: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=bug-writing.html

[Andrew Sutherland [:asuth] (he/him)]

I believe the reporter is saying that in the 'customize message views' dialog:
1) You can not change the order of the defined views.  Frequently, dialogs like that have 'move up'/'move down' options.
2) You can not create a new mail view by starting from an existing mail view and modifying it.  (So copy and modify.)

Leaving unconfirmed because this needs to be dupe-checked.

Andrew, thanks for answering the questions.
The dialog is "Customize Message Views". 
one issue per bug please. morphed to "can't copy" - no dupe AFAICT. 
ENH, not a bug. 

Feel free to file ENH bug on other issues.
