Hi,

Does anyone know of a (trick) way to get "Local Folders" to the top of
the folder panel?

The Manually sort folders plug-in doesn't list "Local Folders" as
something it can move.

Thank You,

Mark.

My installation lets me select Local Folders as the topmost account.

Manually Sort Folders|Sort Accounts→First account in the folder pane.

I thought I'd already replied to this, but my posting seems to have been
lost in the ether(net?).

Tools|Manually Sort Folders|Sort accounts

Select "Local Folders" under "First Account in the folder pane".

Again, it seems to me to be hiding in plain sight…

Under the Tools menu, I do NOT see "Manually Sort Folders". Do you have
an extension to create this capability?
