TEST: Windows 10 TB v. 102.7.1 win64 Menu icon > Account Settings. ***Top listed account is currently the default account. Confirmed this by :*** - Select name of top listed account. - click on 'Account Actions' - 'set as default' is disabled. ***Test setting another account as default*** - Select account name of second account in list - click on 'Account Actions' - click on 'set as default' **What happened:** ***In Account Settings:*** - The mouse pointer focus immediately jumps back to the account listed at the top - the account which was the original set as default. - The account which is now set as default remains in second position in the list. - Check : Select name of second account - click on 'Account Actions' > noted 'set as default ' is disabled So second in list is correctly set as default. ***In Folder Pane:*** - No change in the order of accounts in the Folder Pane. The original set as default is still at the top. The current account set as default is still in the second position in list. ***Using 'Write'*** - Select the 'Local Folders' account 'Inbox' folder. - Click on Write - The 'From' is displaying the correct current set as default account. This part works as expected. **Expected:** ***In Account Settings:*** - The name of the second account in list - now set as default - to be moved to the top of the list. Did not occur. - Focus to be on the account now set as default. Did not occur. ***Folder Pane:*** - The account now set as default to be positioned at the top of the list in the Folder Pane. Did not occur. ***Using 'Write'*** - Select the 'Local Folders' account 'Inbox' folder. - Click on Write - The 'From' is displaying the correct current set as default account. This part works as expected. My findings suggest the account set as default is set as default, but the positioning of the current default account is not expected and it means it's not immediately obvious what has been set as default because default account is not positioned at the top of the Account Settings list nor the Folder Pane. If you have selected a folder in a particular account and click on Write, the 'From' will still insert the email address depending upon whatever account has focus at that time. This continues to work as expected. Testing Write with focus on the 'Local Folders' account will insert the account email address of whatever account is set as default.

Restart Thunderbird and check the 'Activity Manager' The second account - now set as default - is the first account to get checked for mail. This works as expected.
