            Bug ID: 300897
          Severity: normal
           Version: 4.8.2
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
           Summary: Usability - mail and folder properties pane width
                    adjustment can obscure right-most property column text
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: ab.kde at ntlworld.com
          Hardware: Mageia RPMs
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: folders
           Product: kmail2

In the folder pane, the folder and mail properties columns are right-justified,
c.f. Akregator, where the feed properties columns are left-justified.

This causes a couple of problems:

1) The numbers in the right-most column abut against the pane width adjustment
widget, and the right half of the last character is not always readable.
2) The width of the right-most column is not adjustable independently of the
pane width
3) The right-most column text can disappear as you adjust the width of the pane
leftwards

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set mail properties (size, unread, total) you wish to see
2. Increase width of folder pane to see text all columns
3. Reduce width of folder pane - right most column can disappear under pane
separator as the column width reduces towards an apparent minimum width.
4. You can't independently set the width of the right-most column using the
width slider in the column headers

Actual Results:  
Right-most column doesn't reduce to a small enough width, and can become not
visible

Expected Results:  
All columns chosen to view should reach a minimum width to view their contents,
and possibly the folder pane should not be adjustable to below the width
required to view all the chosen columns
Folder property columns should be left-justified, or centered to avoid
characters abutting the folder separator pane and improve readability

Just in case its video problems
