Setting Local Folders as default account doesn't make it appear at the top
Closed this issue · 7 comments
I set Local Folders as the default account on the Sort Accounts tab, and restarted Thunderbird. Local Folders is shown as the default account on the right side of the Sort Accounts tab, but it not displayed as the first account in the account pane of TB.
TB 78.11.0, Windows 10
I too would like to see this fixed.
Sorting Local Folders above the mail accounts has been broken for a long time now. I believe it broke due to a change in the core Thunderbird, and there has been lengthy (& slow) discussion within the Thunderbird dev team on the best solution to bring back this functionality. I can't find the bugzilla link now to check on the progress unfortunately.
Found the bugzilla links...

But also found this closed issue which states that sorting accounts will be available in the core Thunderbird, and won't ever be fixed in this addon. The issue refers to this discussion on bugzilla. Current status is Closed / RESOLVED FIXED so I guess it's working already.
I believe it will be available in TB version 89, which is available now via TB beta channel, and I guess around November 2021 via the TB release channel, assuming this continues to follow the Firefox ESR schedule.
Does anyone know why the option is present in the 'Sort accounts' tab, if it doesn't work and isn't expected to?
I don't know, maybe it used to work but stopped working after a certain version of TB and now we are waiting for TB to return to its original state?
Confirmed working in latest release channel TB 91.1.2, both via the Manually sort folders UI and the TB Account Settings UI.
