Change order of email accounts

Post by Peter Creasey »

Searching found no easy way to change the order of my various email accounts. (I don't want to use an app or mess with about:config.)

Can anyone cite an easy way?

Thanks.

Thanks...EXCEPT: (i) I don't want to add an app or extention; and (ii) here's quote from what you linked to -- "This add-on is not compatible with your version of SeaMonkey. "

No extension, no solution.

And I have better quote:

Odd timing as I had the same question a few days ago. Found an extension called "Manually Sort Folders' that claims it is compatible. However it doesn't do anything. It opens, but none of the email accounts populate in the left pane to be able to do anything with them.

SeaMonkey is so "well featured". It is surprising that that a built-in re-sorting of email accounts is not included.

^^ I find that odd too. Seems like such a simple function and I was kind of surprised I couldn't find it in any of the screens.

Good find, works very well and a lot easier than fiddling about in prefs.js.

Thanks.
