Configure board with multiple Todo/Done columns?

[John Horvath]

I have several statues that I want work to be in a "todo" or "done" states (yet still ordered). But the board only appears to allow a single "todo" column (the first) and a single "done" column (the last). Is there any way to put in multiple columns for these statuses? I can't seem to find a way....

For instance I would like to have:

todo

todo

in progress

in progress

in progress

in progress

done

done

but the second todo and the first done are both labeled yellow columns (i.e. "in progress"), even though the associated statuses are not "in progress".

Your JIRA instance might just need to be restarted. JIRA will natively queue up email messages and send them out periodically. If the queue keeps getting backed up, then this is often resolved by just restarting the JIRA service. It is default behavior to queue up emails though instead of sending them out right away.
