After recent Thunderbird upgrade to 60.3.2 on 26 November 2018 from TB 56, the add-on "manually sort folders 1.1.1" ceased working. Moreover the upgrade changed my sort structure to one that is not convenient!!!! I have adored Firefox and Thunderbird because they were mutable to a style that I liked, or can be, to the taste of others. I liked Outlook Express, and Thunderbird allowed me to recreate that!!!!!! And the add-ons were brilliant to enable change from the new squared tabs back to the logo in the upper left and the rounded tabs, or to further change TB to allow me to further tweak all my pop accounts to work together as one under Local folders, with 1 Sent and 1 Drafts above Inbox and 1 Trash at the end of Inbox. Now I cannot have that!!!

Why would Mozilla stop all of that???? Now I have no recourse, and can loathe Mozilla products that act like those from Microsoft???!!!!!

Please add a "update back out" for updates to the prior version when you make these types of updates - PLEASE!!!!!!! And allow us to change the look and feel like you used to!!!! Some people like a color other than BLACK, like the old Model T!!! Even Microsoft add a backout often!

Chosen solution

There is a version of Manually Sort Folders that works in TB 60:

Consider CustomizeMyBird for interface modifications:

The Global Inbox feature is still available:

sfhowes: I am uncertain if I responded to thank you or express my appreciation for your response and solution. Thank you so very much. It has been working great, even with the new Thunderbird updates. I depend on this so much!

I wish Thunderbird would incorporate this add-on function as a part of mainline Thunderbird.

I have many POP mail accounts. Since the demise of Outlook Express, I have been so grateful for Thunderbird and its brilliantly flexible design, to be able to make it function like Outlook Express, to handle the many POP mail accounts as one unified email function, with one Inbox, one Outbox, one Sent, Drafts and Local Folders, as well as Trash et alia.

Thank you to all of you who created and maintain this brilliant tool. If my programming skills were not degraded by time, I would love to have participated in making this continue to succeed and serve the many!!!

All the best!
