Mail GUI in MacOS Catalina

I want to put the date received column on the LEFT of the unread email not the right. I also want to change the size of the columns. This function seems to be missing since I upgraded to Catalina. Anyone know how to get the mail interface back to what it was in Mojave?

MacMail - Right column missing since last Catalina Update In Mac Mail, I can no longer see the right viewing pane with the full email. I can only see the column with the email preview. I can change the width of the column. But not reveal the right pane. I see others posting about this problem, but can't find a solution that works. Is there a solution? I'm running Catalina 10.15.7

Catalina Mail - No columns Where have all the columns 'from, size, date, subject, ...'sort selection, customization gone in OS X Catalina (Mail 13.0)? Long time passing. Where have all the columns gone. Long time ago. Where have all the columns gone? Apple has killed them all. For those you old enough to remember there was a time when Apple users would laugh at Windows users. Microsoft would put out new OS's at the drop of the hat. Each one would be ugly and messy -- provide few real new features (in fact many didn't work at all) -- and totally screw up users. Well meet the new Microsoft. It is Apple. What is the application that I start and end each day with? That I use constantly throughout the day? It is email. And some brainiac has decided that being able to control how I display my mail is "old fashioned" and unnecessary. Apple if this was a temporary mistake. Please let us know. Thanks John

Thanx for the confirmation

. It would've been best if Apple had told us that they were eliminating and changing major GUIs...

I don't read from right to left ;-)
