I have 4 IMAP accounts and 1 local account. I would expect them to be shown as account 1,2,3,4,5, but Thunderbird's troubleshooting info shows them as 1,2,5,7,8. Please see attached picture.

Any idea why? Has something gone wrong? They all seem to be working ok.

Have you ever had a prior account that was deleted? My awareness is that each new account bumps the number. Deleted account numbers are not reused.
