MAIL CLIENT WAS RUINED IN CATALINA. HAS IT BEEN FIXED IN LATER OS'S? The ability to modify the view and display of information of the Apple Mail client in versions previous to Catalina was robust and worked well for most. With the change to Catalina, the ability to manipulate column width and other view features was eliminated. This is a productivity killer for me, and may be a game changer in a bad way. Does anyone know if the ability to customize your Mail view has been restored in later OS's?

Where is default zoom in/out capability in Mail App? If I just want to zoom email contents then I can use cmd and +/- to do that. My complaint is that I have to do it every time I read an email. The mail app should persist zoom settings. Recommended behavior: Every time a new email is being viewed the last zoom settings should be used to render the email contents. Therefore, the email content automatically gets zoomed-in/out when viewed and the user does not have to zoom-in/out manually each time an email is viewed. Checkout the following screenshots: Before zoom-in or the default zoom: After I manually zoom-in: (This should become default zoom level after every time I change the zoom level) (Check-out how nicely the zoomed in font is and readable as well):
