Steps to reproduce:

  • open Account Settings
  • Reorder account via drag & drop
  • restart Thunderbird
  • Account has not been reordered - instead it resides at the same place

Actual results:

As I started Thunderbird from the commandline I get the following error message:

JavaScript error: chrome://messenger/content/AccountManager.js, line 1711: NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE: Component returned failure code: 0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE) [nsIMsgAccountManager.reorderAccounts]

Expected results:

Account should have been reordered.

System: Arch Linux 6.6.7-arch1-1

Hi,
i just swapped "Local Folders" with my e-mail account and it worked after restart. Does it appear with the same type of account, such as e-mail or any account?

System: Fedora

Flags: needinfo?(recalcitrant)

I have no idea what is meant by "swapping Local Folders with my e-mail account".
I have eight e-mail accounts and none of them can be reordered via drag & drop.

Flags: needinfo?(recalcitrant)

I can't reproduce it on Fedora for 115 and for any newer release. (Beta, Daily 122.0a1 (2023-12-18) )

TC:

  • Configured two new mail accounts
  • Clicked on the "Account setting"
  • re-ordered them with drag and drop
  • Restarted Thunderbird
  • Account settings again
  • The order pf the accounts is the same after the reordering

I just upgraded my Arch system and thunderbird-115.7.0-2 fixed the issue for me :-)

Thanks for the update. Good to hear that it is solved. I'm not seeing what fixed it, so => WORKSFORME
