I have approximately 4 accounts set up in Mail on my Mac.

Basically, the one that I want to be the default mail account is about 3 
accounts down in the table.  So, when I go into mail, hit command+comma, 
interact with the toolbar, then find the accounts tab, and select it, then look 
at the table, I'm saying it's about the 3rd account down.  I know a sighted 
person can actually within that table, take the mouse and drag those list of 
accounts in that table up and down and move them to the order they want them to 
be.  Which ever account is at the very top of the list becomes your default 
account for sending mail.  Let me clarify as I know some of you on here, may 
get confused.  I am not trying to set the default outgoing server in the smtp 
server list.  I'm not talking about that.  I'm talking about in that list of 
accounts in the accounts table within preferences under the accounts tab.  I've 
tried going to the table, and hitting vo+comma on the account, then moving to 
the top of the table and hitting command+period, but that tells m
 e after pressing vo+comma that the selection is not dragable, which I darn 
well know it is, as I had a sighted person do it for me once.  I also disabled 
cursor tracking with vo+shift+F3, then I found the account I wanted to move, 
and routed the mouse pointer with vo+command+F5.  Then, I did the old fashon 
way of doing this, with vo+command+shift+space, then I moved up to the top of 
the list, routed my mouse again with vo+command+F5, then did another 
vo+command+shift+space to drop.  That didn't work either.  I knew it wasn't 
gonna work, but just for all time sake, I even tried doing command up and down 
arrow, as well as option up and down.  I even did command option up and command 
option down.  I tried even with a shift key as well.  I was just trying any and 
every keystroke I could think that might move things up and down like that in 
the table.  I even went so far as to highlight the account in the table, hit 
command+X to try cutting it, moved up to the top of the list, th
 en hitting command+V to try pasting it there up above.  Even that! didn't 
work.  I'm at a total loss.  I feel with the acception of having my mom just 
come upstairs and do it for me from a sighted standpoint, I don't know any 
other way to do this.  I've exhausted everything that I know personally that 
there is to try.  I can't believe that they don't give you a move up, and move 
down button in the preferences window, but they don't.  If you have any other 
idea, let me know what maybe I could try.  I'd be incredibly interested in any 
suggestions past what I already have done.
