Lighthouse has a new layout. Prefer the old one? Return to the old layout, and switch back any time from the link at the top of each page.

Question: function of "View > Columns > Outline Column"

#3426

Hi there,

So i read the manual section "View > Messages Outline" [1], and mostly understand.

What i don't understand is, what exactly does changing the menu "View > Columns > Outline Column" do (also located in the context menu when right clicking a column header.) ?

When i change this from "From" to "Subject", etc. nothing seems to change, anywhere.

Please advise, thank you!
David.

    This setting is only relevant when the option “View > Organize by Thread” is enabled. In this case, the outline column is the one where you'll see the triangles which can expand/collapse a group of messages.
