HI All,
Want to 'sort' my mail accounts so they would be in order of use.
I have my default at top but the two most commonly used after that are
near the bottom (and those account listings has all the news groups and
support groups too so WAY down) and I want to move those two email
accounts to beneath the 'default' account (top).

Is this accomplished in user or pref js? Many thanks!

You can use Add-on extensions such as this one:

Good luck.

Well, actually I can do the sorting in bookmarks... BUT I WANT to move a
couple of "email" accounts UP in the 'account setting' interface/pane
from the bottom to near the top and so far I've not figured out how to
accomplish the task. They don't (or I haven't figured out how) drag.
Thanks...

I believe he wants to sort the Account Settings page that opens when he
selects Tools > Account Settings.

ABSOLUTELY what I want to do.. I tried today to 'set default' in the
hopes of moving things around. In the long past you could use user.pref
but not sure now TB 14 how that works...
But "that" is exactly what I want to do. Thanks!!
