I have multiple email accounts configured in WLM. One is office account while
others are personal. When I do Send/Receive (Sync), personal email accounts
start downloading first followed by office account at the end. Sometimes I
have to wait quite long to see office emails when the link is slow. I know I
can select manually accounts one by one, but I want to know how to change the
order (or priority) of accounts the way I want?



RW

Right click on the account, select up or down.

Go to Tools>accounts>select your Office account>properties>General tab,
prefix the accounts friendly name, (top line), with A-(existing name).
WLM checks accounts in alphabetical order, so prefix any others with B-, C-
etc

I had not spotted that and it's really useful. For example it is great to
have Outbox immediately under Quick views instead of way down and out of
sight. Many thanks Walter. - Doug

Oops - spoke too soon - the changes don't persist - they are lost when the
system is re-started. Doug.

Does it "stick" for you? Most people find that, while they can order the
accounts, they can't order other folders. In my experience, the order is:

Quick views
User defined accounts
Outbox
Storage folders

That general order is immutable. Within the user defined accounts, I can
sort the accounts; but, as a group, they always come back between "Quick
vies", and "Outbox", after closing WLMail, and restarting.

Within the "Storage foldes", "Drafts", "Sent items", and "Deleted items"
will always be at the top, with the user defined folders listed
alphabetically after.
