The left panel can have the column header marker moved I find, but not 
far enough to see it all. That panels right border seems to be fixed, but 
I did on this pass find the 4 errant folders and deleted the akonadi-
cache

I did that, per your message no change when kmail was restarted and the 
folders selected. It looked to me like the cache had not been deleted, or 
it was already rebuilt. akonadiserver was running as I could not delete 
the cache until it was restarted. Thats acc the error message when I 
tried.

I think you have on that detail, Peter. Whether the panel can be expanded 
to show more than the unread count for the folder, is I think immaterial.
The unread count did not change when I tried to delete the cache, so I 
think something else had a lock on it and it was not actually deleted. So 
the question is what?

Thank you Peter, take care & stay well.
