1390340 - Cannot move folder locations for email accounts in the folder pane

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 244347

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

Description

[Michael David]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/60.0.3112.90 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

I have multiple email accounts. All have transferred over OK. However, I cannot seem to be able to change the sort order of the parent folder for each email address to a different vertical position on the list.  


Actual results:

I have gone into "Account Settings" and attempting to move the sort order by clicking hold and dragging but to no avail. 


Expected results:

When you click and hold on the parent folder you should be able to move it to another location on the folder list. For example: If you have 5 email addresses that you regularly monitor, and you created them originally in this order 1,2,3,4,5, but you realized that #4 should be the top of the list like: 4,1,2,3,5, there does not appear to be a way to adjust the order. Am I missing something? I don't find this capability under Account/Account Settings/Account Actions either.  Please advise in the community if I am not doing something correctly and this functionality exists already. Kindest Regards to All. Version 52.2.1

Very old feature request. The add-on "Manually Sort Folders" provides that function.
