It's there, just buried in the global Preferences panel.  Go to
Configuration>Preferences... then select Display>Summaries.  Near the
bottom of the page, in the Message List section, there's a line that
says "Displayed Columns" with an "Edit" button.  Click on the button and
you'll be able to change the column ordering.

Now there I have no clue.  Claws has never done anything like that here.
There isn't even a Gnome directory in my ~/.claws-mail directory.  I'm
running Fedora 10, though, which might make a difference.  I have run
SuSE, but I don't recall it creating such a folder there, either.  :-(

I'm glad to hear that your thumb drive problem is cleared up.  It's
probably a good idea to buy a spare, just in case.  They do die, and
reformatting may have just masked an underlying problem.  Or it could
have been gremlins, and the thing will keep going for years.  :-)
