By default, KMail uses the Fancy theme. Switch back to the classical theme and 
the columns are back, sortable, resizable and the set size is remembered when 
you change the folder.

And your approach assumes that every feed has a short name, a short author 
name, that both are more important than the article title and that the user 
cannot choose what he wants to see (nor how).
