I have written a review for the previous version: everything was fine except that there was no possibility to reorder the columns.

The new version fixed that issue, now it's just perfect!

Check my previous review for a way to change columns for *existing* IMAP folders using this add-on.

Great add-on! Permits to customize the columns on new folders + if your accounts are IMAP, you can install the add-on with the corresponding config setting, quit Thunderbird, remove the cache folders for the IMAP accounts, start TB again and all your *existing* folders will have the desired columns as TB will re-create them using the add-on's setting.

If it's a new or automated IMAP deployment, it's even simpler: you just install the add-on (place it in the "extensions" folder in the profile folder), define the columns preference in prefs.js/user.js or any other MCD/automated deployment way and configure IMAP accounts. Once the user opens Thunderbird, all folders will be created with the desired columns.

The only feature that lacks is the ability to change the order of columns. As it is now, you can only turn the columns on/off, you can't rearrange them (e.g. put subject after sender/recipient).

A recommendation for the developer: there's no need to join() columns as in the example (this way it's also not working in prefs.js/user.js), you can just specify them all in one string, e.g. "priorityCol,threadCol,…,locationCol".

I've seen your code, it's extremely simple, but no matter what DEFAULT_COLUMNS is assigned to, the *order* doesn't change. Why?
