good day folks.

getting out of microsoft's outlook thumb and managed to migrate everything, yet the folder orders cannot be re-ordered and are stuck on alphabetical, which is LAME. i've read all the help regarding this yet nothing works. download this, download that.

how in hell does one actually sort folders the way they want? in reality?

thank you.

did that. an .xpi file. but where does it go? what folder? in reality.

there are no instructions on where to actually put it so it's useless to me.

i do appreciate your help, christ1. i got the addon into t-bird but can only move folders into and out of other folders which are for some idiotic reason ALPHABETICALLY SET BY MOZILLA/THUNDERBIRD, creating this hassle. there is no way to actually order them as i choose.

in 18 years since t-bird first launched, it can't do what EVERY OTHER MAIL CLIENT IN THE WORLD DOES. wow.

it's idiotic. i'm going back to outlook.

The add-on does exactly what the name suggests. If you need anymore help in using the add-on you can check the add-on site on AMO linked above.
