I have five folders for my IMAP account: Inbox, Drafts, Sent Items, Junk
E-mail (filtered by Entourage), junk-mail (filtered by server).  None of
these are children of another folder.  But after a DB rebuild, the column
settings are usually (always?) hosed for all of them.

That might work, if the column settings are saved in a Custom view.  I'll
try it.  Thanks for the suggestion.
