Hiya, any re-arranging of the account list does not work. Been like this for months. Checking again today after Thunderbird version update it is still the same.

The drag and drop sort in setting works however the new list order is not applied to the actual account list.

Win11. Thunderbird 154.0 (64-bit).

Any ideas? Searches are pretty much only showing instructions on how to drag and drop. No solutions that I can see. Thanks in advance.

Are you in the 'account settings' pane when you do this?

160.0 sorted it out for me; Clicked on one of the accounts listed in the left hand pane- Clicked on "account settings" near the upper right corner of any of the accounts- Then dragged to reorder- New order showed up in left account list pane of main window . . !!!!!

Yes, I know what to do. It doesn't work.

I've since replaced Thunderbird for an alternative mail client which works.

Bye bye Thunderbird. It's been emotional.
