> But! You say, you can use the column dividers, to resize the individual columns, right? Nope, the GNOME/Geary people think you should not be able to resize the columns manually like you could before. No explanation, just fuck you.
Not sure where you got that from, but as Tobias Bernard (npub1dkc…3gke) said: "primary focus should be on making sure that the columns always have reasonable sizes by default (e.g. make sure the sidebar is never much wider than the widest string, proportionally scaling columns with display size), rather than giving people ways to manually fix the problem."

That said, the ability to manually resize was one of the things I absolutely hated on older GNOME apps.
I struggle a lot with pointer accuracy due to fidgety hands, so I would often click (and hold) the resizable bar *by accident* and have it resized to an undesirable size. It was always infuriating to resize it back to the desirable size.
