We have multiple email accounts. How do I make one of the accounts the default sender address when we Send to a document to Mail Recipient? Or how can I change the order of the email accounts on Thunderbird that they appear?

Chosen solution

There is an extension that makes rearranging the order of accounts in the folderpane easy. It is Manually Sort Folders.

To make a particular outgoing server the default, go into Account Settings > Outgoing Server (SMTP), choose the one to be the default and click the Set Default button.
