The "Subject" column has disappeared

Hello,

Overnight, the subject column in one of my email accounts has disappeared. Does anyone know how to recover it? I searched in the list of columns to display, but Subject doesn't exist....
Thank you

Configuration: Windows / Firefox 68.0

    In the column menu, the reset option appears at the bottom. Click on it

    If it doesn't appear, go to another account where the status column normally appears (or create one) > column menu > apply these settings to: Indicate the account to restore.

      Thank you so much. I found my Subject column. Not with the first suggestion (reset), which I had also tried, but with the second solution (apply these settings), it's perfect and I would never have found it myself. I'm so happy.

      I don't know how to mark it as solved. On the other hand, it's message 1 that has the green ribbon "best answer" while it's the 2 from zourk that provides the solution...

      Thank you,
      only this second method worked for me today (applied from the columns of another account) because indeed the subject column does not appear in the list of columns to display.

    Hello Fanbricol,

    Right-click on any of the column header titles and check the names of the columns you want to display.

      Thank you very much, but it's the first thing I tried... but alas, right-clicking brings up a list where "Subject" is not found.

    Hello fanbricol

    If your Thunderbird is not displayed in full screen, the first column disappears when reducing the display width.

      Thank you, that’s a lead I hadn’t considered. What worries me is that I have 3 mailboxes (accounts) in my Thunderbird messaging and only one of them has lost this "Subject" column. But as soon as I return home, in about ten days, I’ll hurry to check if I’m in full screen or not. I’ll let you know.

    I don't understand because the columns on the right panel are common to all the accounts visible in the left panel. How is it possible that only one of the accounts is affected?

      The 3 accounts are displayed one under the other and I think I can even display custom columns for each account.

    The 3 accounts are displayed one below the other, and I think the columns on the right panel are the same for each of these accounts.

      Thank you for looking into my issue. Unfortunately, when I switch to the first account, which is the default one, I do not have this "subject" column; when I switch to the second or third account, the column is there. That's why I'm asking for help, because I've searched everywhere and I can't find a solution.

    fanbricol,

    Move your mouse cursor over the column header area from left to right. When the cursor turns into a double horizontal arrow on a zone border, left-click and, without releasing the click, drag the zone border to the right. Before your amazed eyes, you will discover the area titled "Subject".

      Thank you very much for the effort you're making to try to find a solution for me.
      Unfortunately, I've already tried that too, but since I'm back home in front of my computer, I don't want to overlook anything... So, I've tried everything again, including the "full screen" display (which was already there). I even checked the settings once more... nothing at all. I'm starting to despair about finding a solution other than deleting/creating the account... an action I would have liked to avoid so as not to lose everything I've already configured for this account.

    Hello Fanbricol,

    Before deleting the account, to avoid losing anything, move what you want to keep under "Local Folders."

      Yes, yes, thank you. I'm waiting a bit longer before taking action... But it's still too much not to find a solution to this problem!

      You have already done a lot and you have searched a lot to help me. A big thank you. If one day I find (???), I will say it.
