10.4: OS X 10.4.3 update released
Authored by: Robert Black on Nov 01, '05 08:01:22AM
Can someone confirm that the following problem hasn't been fixed please?

In Mail, with a Smart Mailbox, in the view menu select Columns: Mailbox. As expected, the Mailbox column appears in the list of messages, BUT select another mailbox and then return to the same Smart Mailbox and the Mailbox column is gone. This is really frustrating and I've read of others experiencing the same problem with 10.4.2, and I was hoping that this update to 10.4.3 would fix it. In my case, it appears that it hasn't.

Regular Mailboxes (which need the Mailbox column far less due to their nature) do remember to show that column when you return to them.

Curiously, if I drag the Mailbox column in a Smart Mailbox to change the left-to-right order in which it appears, this order is remembered if I later reactivate the Mailbox column. So Mail.app bothers to remember the order of the columns in a Smart Mailbox, but not whether extra columns have been activated. Grrr.

On the positive side, I REALLY appreciate all the work that's gone into 10.4.3, fixing so many other bugs and adding some nice new features to boot.
