This is the developer list - you may want to ask user questions  on the 
kdepim-users mailing list 
(https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdepim-users).

Also, feature enhancements (aka wishlist items) should be logged on 
http://bugs.kde.org, to make sure that they are not forgotten. Even for the 
greatest idea, the developers may be too busy to work on it now, and then the 
idea will be lost.

The good news is that this already works. There are three sets of columns - 
the default set, a receiver set, and a sender set. You can choose which set 
of columns gets used for each folder by selecting the folder Properties (e.g. 
RMB on the folder, and select Properties), and then choose which of these is 
used in the "Select Columns:" combobox.

When logging this, please add more detail than "never worked". At least some 
problems are due to your distribution/setup (e.g. permission problems), and 
it is almost impossible to remotely diagnose issues unless you identify 
exactly what you did (each step), what you expected to happen (each step) and 
what actually happened (each step).  Please don't leave information out, no 
matter how irrelevant you think it is.
