You can solve those problems using bindings:

1. Column width:

   If you want to be equally divided then:

   first.prefWidthProperty().bind(tableView.widthProperty().divide(3));
   last.prefWidthProperty().bind(tableView.widthProperty().divide(3));
   email.prefWidthProperty().bind(tableView.widthProperty().divide(3));
   

   Or instead of using divide(3) you can set any division for example: 40% 40% 20%

   Like:

   double firstPercent = 0.4;
   double lastPercent = 0.4;
   double emailPercent = 0.2;
   
   // firstPercent + lastPercent + emailPercent = 1 !!!
   
   first.prefWidthProperty().bind(tableView.widthProperty().multiply(firstPercent));
   last.prefWidthProperty().bind(tableView.widthProperty().multiply(lastPercent));
   email.prefWidthProperty().bind(tableView.widthProperty().multiply(emailPercent));
   

2. TableView height:

   tableView.prefHeightProperty().bind(content.heightProperty());
   

   where the content is the reference of the VBox
