rearrange accounts in the folder pane

How do I rearrange the accounts in the folder pane? I want my most active
email account at the top and the rest in descending order. Clicking and
dragging seems to work until I release the left click button. Then the
dragged account goes back to where it was.

Re: rearrange accounts in the folder pane

right click on my account.

Re: rearrange accounts in the folder pane

Windows Live Mail is a stand alone program separate from Outlook 2007.

The move feature available in WLM is part of WLM, not Windows or Outlook 2007.

Outlook's Navigation pane shows its folders in alphabetical order. Rename the folders to re-arrange the location.

Re: rearrange accounts in the folder pane

That is fine but how do you lock it - if you close Windows Live Mail and
reopen then the folder order reverts to the original!

Re: rearrange accounts in the folder pane

Which folder are you trying to move ?
- Storage folders is not moveable.

Are you using the current version of WLM
- WLM Menu/Help/About Windows Live Mail
If the WL Mail menu is not shown press ALT M M

The current version is Microsoft Windows Live Mail 14.0.8064.206

Re: rearrange accounts in the folder pane

If you specified which folder, you probably would receive a different
answer.
If my hunch is correct, you have Out-box and or Storage Folder in mind.
If yes, the answer is no.
You can move the Account Folders, and they will stay where you have moved
them. But not the 2 mentioned above.

Re: rearrange accounts in the folder pane

Highlight, right click, Move to folder.
Subsequent moves will be to the same folder until you change folders.
