I am having an issue I see no way to address in SeaMonkey email. The
"Inbox" folder properly lists the "From" and the "Sent" folder properly

not appropriate and you want to list the "Recipient" instead.

In my case I am using SeaMonkey to take the place of earlier mail
clients and have thus brought the messages sent and received from those
clients over as folders. So I have "Old_Sent", "Old_Inbox",
"Older_Sent" and "Older_Inbox" as folders under the other folders. I of
course would like to show the "Recipient" in the "Old_Sent" and the
"Older_Sent" folders by default, but of course I have to explicitly
display it when I want to see it and change it back or it overrides on
all the other folders as well.

Is there a way to define columns to display for individual folders to
allow me to see the various sent folders appropriately by default?

Use Folder Flags to flag your Old_Inbox folders as "Inbox"es.

Is there another add-on that offers this capability? This add-on does
NOT support the current SeaMonkey and there was no response from the
author to an e-mail requesting an enhancement to extend compatibility.

Alternatively, is there a way to address this by editing the *.msf files
in the profile? Where is the documentation on this?

Dave, don't know anything about the folderflags program but first thing I would do would be to dump the old msf files, as these will then be rebuilt when you first select the old mail folders in SeaMonkey (Note the actual e-mails are contained in the folders without the suffixes, i.e. old_inbox, old_sent, etc.).
