Vista - The order of your email accounts

03-03-2009

Is there any way of controlling what accounts are on the top besides removing them all and replacing them in the correct order?
One of the few good things I enjoyed on OS X was the ability to drag things all over the place in their email program. Its
important to be able to control where things are are email accounts need to be grouped together. Its the same in Thunderbird. They
are in the order you create them. If you've got a lot of accounts and you need to "insert" a new one, you're really screwed.

Right-click on the account name in the folder list on the left.
Select Move up/down, as desired.

Never mind. I just saw the "Move Up or Down DOOFUS!" option.

Not here. Can't drag it up or down. No matter. This option is fine. Its not as if I'm changing the order every day. I'm happy.
