Recently, the company that has been my primary email service provider
for a decade has been unable to keep its servers running, and that has
forced me to get a new email service provider. I added the new email
account, and it appears as the last account in the list of email accounts.
The new account will be the primary account, effectively replacing the
first account in the present list.

I'd like to rearrange the accounts, so that the new account comes at the
top of the list. I'd also like that account to become the "primary"
account, so that when I click on a mailto link, the composer comes up
already set to send email from that account, not the old primary one.

I have set the new account as the primary (or "default") SMTP server,
but it seems to make no difference.

How can I effect these changes? I'm using SeaMonkey trunk.

Edit, Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings, select the
account, then on the bottom left, click on Set As
Default. That will make that account the default and
put it at the top of the list -- atleast it should.

If that doesn't work, then get the FolderPane Tools
extension:
http://xsidebar.mozdev.org/modifiedmailnews.html#folderpanetools.
This will let you rearrange all your account to where
you want them. Its a hacked Thunderbird extension made
to work with SeaMonkey. I use it and it works great.
Note: you'll also need to get the xsidebar extension
which is also available at the same site.

Thanks, Peter. Don't know how I missed that before.

One admits that today's life seems to be not cheap, nevertheless people need money for different things and not every person gets enough cash. Thus to receive some <a href="http://goodfinance-blog.com/topics/credit-loans">credit loans</a> or sba loan will be a correct solution.
