catalina mail column view

In the new Mac osX CataIina I cannot find a way to change the columns viewed in Mail. You used to be able to change the field widths and add columns from the View/Columns menu. How can I accomplish this now?

Also, what does the black background TO next to the email title mean?

Resize Columns in Mail after Catalina I need to resize the columns in my Mail so I can see the FULL name of the sender. Columns are no longer named in Catalina, I can only "sort by" but that still doresn't giver a full view. Maybe the "sort by" should at least resize THAT column so full names (people and organizations) are visible. How am I supposed to see the things I want easily?

Apple mail preview pane missing I do not have a preview pane in Mail any more. In Catalina 10.15.7 It is not at the side, and does not appear however the \View\use side preview drop-down is ticked. dragging the sides of the wind has no effect. If I follow forum instructions and try mail\Preferences\Viewing\ use classic layout (box ticked) I am hampered by there being no "use classic layout" option in my Mail preferences, or any other mail menu. I know that Apple changed Mail to put the preview at the side, but it has been completely removed from my iMac. Has anybody any suggestion how I can unbreak Mail? Ta Frank

Just so it's clear to everyone, the change was intentional/not a bug, so from Apple's standpoint there's not anything to "fix".

Thought that was the case, but wasn't sure if I remembered it correctly.
