I've got one folder that will not show its "From" column any more.  See attached screen-shot.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click on column customisation (to right of existing columns)
2.Look for "From" column
3.



This release has been acting strange, other things I've noticed with this release but haven't reported included one point where it just showed the "Account" screen (with Read / Search etc), other points where clicking different messages doesn't get an updated message window. 

Some problems have gone away when I've restarted Shredder, 

I don't know if the problems are linked, there just seems something really unstable about the UI in this nightly.

Confirmed with 2009/6/14 build on MS Win-XP SP3.

Inbox etc.  : "Recipient" is not displayed in column selection list.
Sent/Drafts : "From"      is not displayed in column selection list.
(Icon for your "Inbox Filtered" looks same as icon for "Sent") 

Implementation of "consolidated Who column" is in progress?

Wada they are all linked in the tracking bug for which all these bugs are regressions of.

Re comment #4, yes this is a "Sent" folder, the structure I use is to receive into "Inbox", filter into "Inbox filtered" and also put "Sent" messages in "Inbox filtered", so this folder shows both incoming and outgoing messages, which is why i normally have both Recipient and From showing,
