Ubuntu :: How To Move Accounts In Accountlist Up And Down

I googled for a while without finding anything about this, so i created an account to make sure that others after me get an actual hit when searching for an answer.I have 13 email accounts in Thunderbird for work-related stuff. Thunderbird by default just adds accounts in a top-down manner without sorting of any kind, not even alphabetically. For most users this is not an issue, but for me and other powerusers who have multiple accounts with an uncountable amount of subfolders it soon becomes a nuisance to have your latest added mailbox all the way down when you actually check it quite often.

Why Mozilla havent included a simple drag'n'drop feature or similar for this is beyond me, but here is how you do it.For example if i wanted my latest added account - which is placed all the way at the bottom by default - to instead be placed at the top of the list, i just delete "account4" from the end of the line, and insert it at the front. Make sure that there is no trailing comma and no whitespaces anywhere.There we go. I hope someone finds this useful, a bunch of my colleagues sure did.
