Hi Henry,
I can confirm setting the column and sort for a top-level folder is
inherited by all subfolders. I'm not sure it if helped that ran
`defaults delete -app MailMate MmMailboxRelatedStates` first.
The only place this doesn't work is when viewing Layout →
Correspondence, where Date Received is always sorted oldest first, no
matter how that column is sorted anywhere else. This feels like a bug,
if the above is meant to be the new standard behavior.

Hello All,
I made two interesting discoveries that seems undocumented in the Help
Menus in this Build. It seems interesting that it isn’t mentioned,
but it seems to hold true in all tabs affecting settings of sub-tabs
within tabs of settings like columns adding or deleting them and
setting the ordering parameter (E.G., sorting early to later or
vice-versa). Also found a specific exception which you may also find
interesting.
Case 1: You have or have created a folder like “Archive” (in my
case I renamed it to All Archive 2022 for reasons unimportant but
obvious). In that folder there are default columns or added columns.
Within that group there are several Account folders with messages:
1. You add a new column to this top level folder. The change is
reflected to all of the sub folders automagically. I can find no rules
or setting methods to affect this change in the default settings, it
just happens. The only exception I can find, is that the position of
the column at the end of the list of columns by default may be
respecified in the sub-columns or changed in any sub-folder to
whatever you want independently from the main column or other
sub-folders after the main folder changes. Kind of like a hierarchical
ordering setting.
2. Likewise a setting to the top level folder in terms of date
ordering - oldest to newest or vice-versa will affect all the
sub-folders, except where the subfolder was previously set
differently.
Case 2: Changes made to top level folders in other terms, in the
View>Layout Menu MAY similarly affect sub-folders, but not the
reverse. If Benny used the same logic, it may explain so of the random
looking effects reported here.
I tried out Case 1. above for my own folders and found it works
between all my top level and (each of) their sub-folders as described.
Maybe whomever is documenting the help menu can confirm and document
these changes along with the respective folder actions. Perhaps it
would explain anomalies reported here on sorting and columns. I leave
Case 2 to others to confirm.
Respectfully,
