Make the column widths adjustable.
When in Column layout, please make the column widths adjustable. I don't need the sidebar and message to be as wide as they are and I do need the message text area to be wider because text is often cut off.

Problem: 3 columns, not enough room to view the message.
Need: To control the display of the mailbox/folders column
Solution: A toggle switch to anchor (display) the column or to allow hiding
Action: Toggle switch off, column collapses to far left of screen with just a tab (or nothing) showing. When the mouse cursor is hovered on the left edge of the screen (or tab clicked) the column is displayed.Toggle switch on, the column is locked and does not collapse
This would allow users to work with the mailboxes/folders efficiently when needed and to remove from view to increase space to view the message(s)

v3.16 had narrower mailbox and header columns than v4.0, which left much more window real estate for the actual message. Most web-based programs I've used have a grab bar that lets you modify the width of the major columns. Can that be added to the primary screen?

The Column Layout for Inbox currently has two panes apart from the leftmost sidebar. The size of the panes cannot be modified.
It would be great if users were able to drag the margin left or right to change the size of the panes. This would help users customize the layout to their comfort.

It would be nice if the left column [inbox, folders list, etc] on the protonmail browser page would be made adjustable for width. At present, unless a short email address is used for the folder, it gets cut off with no chance of adjusting the width to show the full folder name.

It would be great to be able to adjust the column widths...it's hard to use the viewing panel when we cannot adjust it's size. Thank you!

Would be great to be able to resize the the columns. I don't need the subject line to be as wide as the message pane.

I need to be able to widen and change the column widths for the menu, message list and message pries columns. I cannot read the full text of my various folders and this would be an expected basic functionality.

Asking Protonmail to do something like this like waiting for floorboards to warp - may happen in 10 years, or maybe not. Anyone remember the subfolder request....?

This is really a must. Having the center and right column aquals is totally inefficient on a large screen. A dragable column separation is needed. See Microsoft Outlook web client for an example. And at the same time, add an option to display the first n lines of text below the subject in the left colum.

I would love to be able to adjust the width of the columns in Column view (e.g., to be able to shrink the width of the message listing to give more room to the message body window). Thank you!

Would love to see this. Agreed, columns are wider than they should be.

I would like the ability to maximize an individual email out of this view (maybe similar in size to the Compose window size).

i too would like to have a resizable column. It's far too wide.

In Column layout mode, the middle column (which lists the names of the emails you have received, sent, etc...) is WAY TOO WIDE and takes away from the valuable space of the message area. Compare Proton to Outlook mail for proper column width. Several Proton subscribers have requested you make the columns adjustable, but when you read their full complaint, that is just so they can narrow the center (names) column. So I think just narrowing the center column would be sufficient. Thank You!

By this I mean, a la Roundcube, Thunderbird, etc - where you can pick and choose more columns to add. You might need a different primary font for this to happen. Column headers like: 'To:', 'Flag', 'priority', etc.

The WIDTH of existing column layout to be adjustable.
Presently it is fixed, it occupies excessively large area of the screen real estate on my 13 inch laptop computer.
