How do I change the order of my 5 mail accounts to put my default at the top? Currently using any email browser option (Chrome Firfox IE) sends it using the one at the top which is one I never use. I have specifically set the default in the setttings option and figure that it picks up the top one NOT the default one. Logon screen shows the user accounts in alphabetical order based on the names first given to the account when it is created. If you change the user account name later, it does no longer change the order accounts are presented. Reason is simple: even if you change the user account name later, the user account folder keeps the original name.
The order of accounts and identities cannot be changed without manually reording them in the configuration (using about:config or prefs.js).
about:config (recommended)[edit]
- Tools > Options > Tab: Advanced > Tab : General > Config editor : 'I'll be careful, I promise!'
Thunderbird stores the order of the accounts in mail.accountmanager.accounts. It is a comma-separated list of account designations. By reordering the designations in the list you change the order of the accounts as they appear in thunderbird except for the default account which always appears first.

To figure out which account belongs to each designation you can look for mail.account.account<N>.server (where N is the number) which contains a server designation:
Using the server designation you can search for mail.server.server1 which can be used to figure out what each account is:
If you want Local Folders to appear first you need to use that as the default account.
prefs.js[edit]
- ~/.thunderbird/<your profile>/prefs.js in GNU/Linux,
- C:Documents and Settings<your profile>Application DataThunderbirdProfiles****.defaultprefs.js in Microsoft Windows XP, and
- C:Users<your profile>App DataRoamingThunderbirdProfiles****.defaultprefs.js in Microsoft Windows Vista, 7 and 8.
| File: prefs.js |
Follow same instructions as about:config.

| Note: You must not edit prefs.js while Thunderbird is running! |
Identities[edit]
The order of identities (within an account) can be reordered by modifying mail.account.account<N>.identities (and the actual identities can be found at mail.identity.id<N>)
