Is there some way to set the order that email (and News) accounts

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
