I have three email accounts (so far) that I have successfully connected to Thunderbird. They appear in the navigation pane in the order that I added them. While it's not a big deal, I would like to rearrange the account folders to have my main account at the top of the tree but unfortunately, I didn't add them in the order I would like to view them. Is there a way to rearrange the view?
