Description André Klapper 2012-02-02 14:45:59 UTC 
Somewhere under
http://library.gnome.org/users/evolution/3.3/mail-layout-changing.html
document 
        "Edit -> Preferences -> Mail Preferences -> General (tab) -> 
        [ ] Apply the same view settings to all folders"

This also refers to preview pane state which is a per-folder setting.
Comment 1 Matthew Barnes 2012-02-02 15:12:38 UTC 
Suspecting I may have misspoken on the mailing list, I double checked how this preference gets used in the mailer code and it appears to NOT apply to preview pane state at present.

The preference mainly applies to the message list state that's controlled through the View -> Current View stuff (visible columns, column widths, sort order, etc.), and preview pane state is stored separately from that.

The preference (as it's worded) probably SHOULD include preview pane state, but I can't say off-hand if that would be an easy fix.

Not a problem honestly, I really appreciate the trying to help, and just glad I wasn't going mad when I couldn't get it to work ;-)

I've logged the global preview setting as bug 669445 . Maybe this bug (updating the docs) should depend on/be blocked by that one?

Makes sense.  Done so.
