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?

How to customize message list columns placement and width in Mail under Catalina Just "upgraded" to Catalina from Mohave and lost the capability to reformat column placement and width for the Mail message list. I used to be able to do this under Mohave but cannot figure out how to do it with Catalina version. I do not like the default arrangement/format. Has the capability to change it been abandoned or buried somehow?

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

Is the User ( you ) using the " Column Layout " in Apple Mail ?

If so - there is an almost Invisible Vertical Spacer between " From " & " Subject ". This is Resizable by drag the Spacer to the Right allele to Increase the Column for " From "

refer to below picture and not the Circle to identify the Almost Invisible Spacer
