Default Sort (Access) Order of Mail accounts

Ken,

Thanks for reply.

I've had a number of responses on this issue (thanks to all those who took
time to reply). Interesting reading. In the end, took your advise in naming
account with numeric sequencer.

There is a button called "Set Order" which is greyed out. I thought
this button was for setting the order in which the mail accounts were
accessed ????

I also thought it would set the order until I found the definition for "Set
Order"

Click the question mark (?) on the upper right hand corner, drag it down to
and click "Set Order" button or right click "Set Order" button, then click
the What's This? popup.

Either will display "Click to set the order in which directory services are
searched when validating e-mail addresses".

One way to get the Mail accounts to display in the order you want is to put
a one (1) in front of the first to display then two (2) in front of the
second and so on.

I am sure there will be other suggestions.

| From what I can tell Mail account are listed alphabetically.
