I currently manage 6 personal e-mail accounts with Thunderbird.

Is it possible to re-order these 6 e-mail accounts top-to-bottom on the left edge of the screen?

Simple question.

Thanks for your time here.

So I downloaded the above .XPI file fix to my Win 7 desktop - how do I install? Thank you for the help here. Ed Guzik

Open Tools/Add-ons/Extensions and drag the xpi onto TB and drop it.

Ongoing problem and such an obvious omission. Is there even a hard way to fix this manually now that the re-order extension doesn't work? ( Currently on ver . 78.2.1 )

Work is underway to have account ordering built into TB 78+:
