My local folders appear above my accounts in LH pane; they used to be below the accounts?

When I first installed TB a few days ago, the LH was ordered top to bottom as Account 1, Account 2, Local Folders. Now it is Local Folders at the top. I have been using the 'Manual Sort Folders' add-on to sort WITHIN accounts and Local Folders, but as far as I can see, there is no way that the Local Folders should appear first? Any suggestions, as I do want my accounts at the top.

The one at the top is the one set as Default.

Maybe Local Folders is currently set as default.

  • Tools > Account Settings
  • select/ highlight the account you want as default
  • click on 'Account Actions'
  • select 'Set as Default'
  • click on OK

OK I have TB on my laptop and have had it for awhile, I got a new desktop and after installing TB on here no local folder showed up at all. I want both email addresses to post in the message area just like in my laptop. What do I do now?

ctpchatty: Your query has nothing to do with this question. Please make a new question and explain your issue fully.

I thought this conversation was about local folders. I am not the most computer knowledgeable person so I thought since my problem was with a missing local folder that I was in the correct conversation. I don't know how to word my issue properly apparently. I will see if I can get help elsewhere.

ctpchatty: This question is about how to reorganise mail account names in the left column. The answer was given.

The original asker of this question does not need to receive emails about a different issue. All the helpers on the forum look at the new messages, so it means your question will get seen by more potential helpers. It is easier to track a specific issue if it is in one question. Putting several questions in one question, makes it difficult to keep track of conversation.

Your question is different, you have a missing set of folders, so all you need to do is ask your specific question in a new question. Include all details.
