The recent update for Thunderbird has changed the columns displayed in ALL my folders. As I have several hundred folders, going through them individually and deleting the new column and adding back in the two that have been deleted is going to take days.

How can I get the details to be the same in all the folders?

If you click the little square button and display the list of available fields, at the bottom there is "Apply columns to…" and the dialogue will allow you to select the top level of each account and apply the current settings to that folder and all its subfolders.

So, this is not "all at once" but does at least reduce the number of actions to once per account.
