You can install an extension that will add that functionality. It is
called Folderpane Tools
<https://addons.mozilla.org/seamonkey/addon/folderpane-tools/>.
Alternatively, Flakey, if you are comfortable working in
about:config,
search for the property mail.accountmanager.accounts, change the
order
of the accounts listed under the value, re-start SM and away you go.
Hmmm . . . How do I do that? Just change the numbers on the
accounts, or
physically rearrange them? I.e., is the name "Account" fixed to the
account, or is the number?
Thanks in advance!
Larry, the sequence the accounts are in now is determined by the
order of the Accountx sequence now in the
mail.accountmanager.accounts pref.
On my "Mail & Newsgroups" screen, my accounts, in order, are Mail,
Local Folder, Albury News server, Mozilla News server, UseNet
Account1, UseNet Account2.
In Prefs, the mail.accountmanager.accounts Value lists the accounts
as account1, account6, account4, account7, account8, account12.
So, Mail is account1, Local Folder is account6, Albury News is
account4, Mozilla is account7, UseNet Account1 is Account 8 and
UseNet Account2 is actually account12. The missing accountx numbers
are for accounts that I did have, e.g. secnews.netscape.com, but
which I no longer have.
And, as you can see, I've changed the sequence of the accounts such
as account6 (Local Folders) appears before account4 (Albury News).
So, if you change the order of the accountx's in the
mail.accountmanager.accounts pref and then re-start SM, the order of
the accounts in the Mail & Newsgroups page will change.
To change the order, double click on the value and cut-and-paste,
remembering to look after the comma's.
I don't believe what your are saying ... this is my case completely cray.
-----------------
I see:
- Scarlet
- Swing
- Mortehan
- Gmail
- Local Folders
- NEWSatSCARLET
- news.mozilla.org
mail.accountmanager.accounts value list is:
account1,account2,account3,account4,account5,account6,account7
BUT ... this is not the order i see on the left pane...
account1 is server1 is Scarlet
account2 is server2 is Local Folders (instead of Swing)
account3 is server3 is NEWSatSCARLET (instead of Mortehan)
account4 is server4 is Swing (instead of Gmail)
account5 is server5 is news.mozilla.org (instead of Local Folders)
account6 is server6 is Mortehan (instead of NEWSatSCARLET)
account7 is server7 is Gmail (instead of news.mozilla.org)
Therefore the order on the screen is totally different of the list order:
account1,account2,account3,account4,account5,account6,account7
If SeaMonkey is the same as Thunderbird the types of accounts are in a
certain order that you can not change. Changes to
mail.accountmanager.accounts will change the order of accounts within
a type group, but not the order of the type groups. This is my
understanding of how it works:
The default account is always first, Email accounts and RSS accounts
are always above the Local Folders, and Local Folders are always above
Newsgroup accounts.
