Thunderbird Update 52.1 Moved My Default Mail Acct.

Post by blumoon »

The Thunderbird update 52.1 has moved my default mail account to the bottom and I cannot figure out how to get it back to the top. The one that is on top right now is the one I hardly ever use. I am on Windows 10. I tried starting TB in safe mode and still the same thing. Any idea how to change it back? Thank you.

It sounds as though you might have been using an extension to sort the accounts and that extension is no longer compatible with the current version of Thunderbird. Check the list of installed extensions under Tools->Add-ons->Extensions for any names that might identify such an extension.

If you don't find one, check out this option -- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunde ... t-folders/

I checked and nothing like that is on the list of disabled addons. I did look at that but it only works with Thunderbird 45.0 - 48.0a1.

Did you install the extension? It's still working in version 52.1 here.

Well funny, I didn't even try to install since it said it only went until 48.0a1. So I did and it works. YAY. Thank you!
I guess the lesson here is to not take someone elses word for something.
The Charamel theme is another story. It says it will work and TB will not let me install from a file. It says an update is available. but it will not let me install it. sigh

Latest update changed order in account pane. (V 52.1.1)
Tried this on V 52.1.1 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunde ... t-folders/
Did not work.
My first time to add an add on.
Did anyone else get it to work?
Thanks

Must have done something wrong.
Started over and it is now working.
Windows 7 64 bit.
