Hello all,

Another question, is there a way to change the order of profiles shown
in the Profile Manager?

Make the first character in a name a number.  I do this with mail
folders and bookmarks.

I lied.  It didn't work with mail folders so I use extra letters; AA, AB,,,

Certain mail folders are prioritized over user-made ones. So things like Inbox, Drafts, Templates, Sent, Junk, Trash, Unsent Messages are always listed first, then your custom folders follow in alphabetical order.

But this doesn't happen for profiles. Unless you fiddle with them, profiles are listed in the order in which you created them (with Local Folders and News always at the bottom).

In my opinion, the least error-prone way of reordering profiles is this:

Suppose you have two profiles named "Alpha" and "Bravo" ("Alpha" being older) and you want Bravo listed first. Create a profile called "Alpha-new," with exactly the same server settings as "Alpha." Drag and drop all your message folders from the "Alpha" profile to the "Alpha-new" profile (message filters will automatically update). Test the "Alpha-new" profile to make sure you can send and receive mail as desired. If it passes, delete the old "Alpha" profile. You can then rename "Alpha-new" if you like and it will not move, because it's newer than "Bravo" (I recommend restarting the program first).
