Evolution --express doesn't remember status bar setting

Originally reported at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/692411 Starting evolution with the "--express" option is a handy way to save screen real estate. However, if I choose to hide the status bar to see even more, it reappears after I restart the application. This is different from the behaviour when --express is not given. To reproduce: 1. $ evolution --express 2. View → Layout → uncheck "Show Status Bar" 3. File → Quit 4. $ evolution --express Observed: The status bar is shown. Expected: The status bar is not shown.
the problem still present in evolution 2.32.1
Created attachment 180654 [details] [review] evo patch for evolution; The code was forcing status bar visibility for mailer and was hiding it for other views regardless user settings. I removed this part of the code and let it hide only switcher buttons, which are not accessible from menu in the express mode anyway.
Created commit c295432 in evo master (2.91.90+)
