No. But then, I haven't changed the column order, or it's width.

I *have* noticed that that it seems to NOT remember the size of the
message list pane.

I keep the folder view on the left (and yes, Evo remembers that I turn
that silly shortcut bar off :-). On the right, I have a top pane that
shows the list of messages in the folder, and the bottom pane shows the
text of the selected message.

Well, lately, Evo keeps forgetting the height of the top pane. I usually
keep them the same height, but - on starting Evo - the top pane is half
the size it was when I closed Evo. IOW, I have to keep re-sizing the
silly thing, whenever I start Evo.

And I view the message list in date order, with the latest date at the
bottom. I occasionally use the Threaded view, but don't like it as much
as date order.
