I am trying to find out how to set the default columns list for my Thunderbird Supernova (115.9.0) installation on Windows 7 Home 64-bit with SP1 - I've followed the instructions in [article] this article, but I'm encountering the following issue:

If I have a folder called (say) "Jo Bloggs" that already has the columns list set that I require and I add a new subfolder (say) "2023", this new subfolder has the application default columns list showing and not the columns list from the parent folder.

Is there any way that I can configure the columns list used by Thunderbird so that all new folders use the same columns list as their parent folder?

Yes. Highlight the parent column that has been configured to your preferences, then click the icon on the right of the message list pane menu bar, and select 'apply columns to' and select 'folder and its children'

"apply columns to" does not work to newly created folders (ie. folders, created upon setting "apply columns to".)

Yes, it does. I suggest redoing the steps. After creating a new folder, you can highlight an existing folder and appy the column settings to the new folder.
