If there's an easy answer to my problem I haven't been able to find it on the Thunderbird support site. Or anywhere else! All I want to do is move my email accounts in the folder pane up and down. Apparently there is an app to do this but it is not compatible with the newer TB version that I have. A second issue that has me befuddled is how to get rid of the "Gmail" folder, which is a primary folder under my account names and which houses several subfolders. Only one of my 6 accounts has this problem! The other 5 accounts have several folders directly under the account name and no subfolders. "Subscribe" does not help. All of the 6 accounts have the same subscribe selections; 3 are IMAP and 3 are POP. Yet one of them refuses to retire the "Gmail" folder.

go to account settings pane, highlight the desired account to move, and drag up or down as desired. For your Gmail question, a screenshot of your view of it and a screenshot of the Imapmail folder in profile may also help.
