Why no feature to organize my many mail accounts in the sidebar?

I have many email accounts in my sidebar of Thunderbird. They are listed from top to bottom according to when I added them on the account settings. But, once they are added, there is no way to organize them from top to bottom. The only way is to delete all my accounts and then add them in the order I want them to appear in the sidebar. The feature I am asking for is something akin to the up/down organizer in Firefox's "Manage Search Engines" customization screen. A simple list of my email accounts, with a "Move Up" and "Move Down" buttons would be perfect. Often, I add new accounts or accounts get hot or lose their immediate usefulness so I'd prefer to bump them up or down accordingly. Why not?
Also, why even bother with an "Inbox" when the email account is right above it? But the only thing that shows when you click on say "[email protected]" is a silly watered down "Email/Accounts/Advanced Features" list of options I can already perform with either toolbar buttons or a drop-down menu. Waste of space, even though you didn't ask me. :)

  • Command how many mails when through the mailstore for a specific domain.

    I need to get info from the maillog to see how many mails when through the mailstore for a specific domain.
    For example all the mails send and received by example.com witch is hosted on that 2005q1 mailserver.
    Anyone know the commands to get it out.

    The data is certainly in the mail.log.
    You may want to start with the perl log parsing script, here:

  • Sync outlook mail account from the infotab in Itunes

    Hi!
    I have selectet my outlook mailaccount from the infotab in Itunes, and expected it to appere in Mail on my Iphone. But even if it shows how many unread mails I have got, I can not find them.
    When I open Mail it is like I have no mailaccount ready. I have to select i.e. exchange, hotmail, gmail etc. Did it not sync properly?
    Do I need to set up a imap or pop3 account to connect to my mail anyway? Contacts and calender sync's like a charm!
    Best regards

    Hi jmknight,
    When you disable contact syncing or delete a mail account from the phone, the data that is removed from the phone is ONLY that data that was synced from that account.  So if you previously had [email protected] added to the phone and had contacts synced from that account, those contacts will not be removed from the phone when you delete [email protected] from the phone.  Additionally, it will not ever delete the contacts from the mail server itself (they will still be accessible at hotmail.com through webmail), rather it just un-syncs the contacts from the phone. 
    I hope this helps!

  • Itunes could not sync mail accounts to the ipad beacuse the mail accounts are in use by the ipad

    hi all  just syncing pc and ipad after 7.0.3 upgrade and get the message that itunes could not sync mail accounts to the ipad because mail accounts are in us eby the ipad.  i know i have seen several older threads on this,. but now cant find them.  any ideas how to get over this problem message?  many thanks

    When my icloud account is attached to my device I go to mail, contacts, calendars, and there is absolutely no way to remove my mail account. When I deleted my icloud account it suddenly gave me a way to delete and readd my mail account, and synching became feasible again. Synching wasn't possible for me, when I had an icloud account. I suppose the icloud idea still isn't feasible, at least Ican't figure out how to use it.

  • My I phone is leaking E-mail passwords and 3parties are accessing the E-mails! I have changed passwords 3 times in 8days!! As soon as I upload the E-Mail account to the I-Phone, everything starts all over again, What do I do?

    The last Aplication I downloaded was Yahoo Finance (a new version) with Yahoo.es .....after a couple days it is asking me to change my E-mails to yahoo.es...and will permit me to upload me e-mails to the I-Phone.... I do not know if this helps..

    I really doubt it if this is a security issue with iPhone, more like you may have answered one to many questions during an apps setup. Or just a coincidence. Most of the time, it has something to do with some site you were on or with a laptop or desktop web page, but not the iPhone.

  • How many email accounts does the iphone4 support?

    Wanted to know how many different e-mail accounts will the new iphone4 support?
    thanks

    If there is an email account limit with the iPhone or with the current firmware version and with any previous firmware versions, I'm not aware of it. You shouldn't have any problem creating and accessing 6 email accounts.

  • When I access my google e-mail account on the I-pad my inbox has at least 6 e-mails with no sender and no subject (absent via I-phone, Mac or PC) I cannot delete them as they cannot be selected- how do I stop them and clear the ones there now?

    Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • How to set up two POP e-mail accounts using the same POP and SMTP servers

    I have an e-mail address based on a domain I purchased which is based on my company name. Now retired, I have purchased a new domain with a simpler, personalised name. My original e-mail account uses the incoming (POP3) and outgoing (SMTP) mail servers operated by my ISP; mail.btinternet.com.
    I have set up a new account on my PC in Microsoft Outlook, and have successfully sent and received emails using the new e-mail address taken from my new domain name.
    I have now tried to mirror this on my iPhone, but every time I enter all the relevant data for the new e-mail address, user name, password, mail servers etc., and then press 'save', I get a pop-up which says: "xxxx" is Already Added  This POP account has already been added to your iPhone. ("xxxx" is the name given to my original e-mail account).  Nowhere have I input "xxxx" in the course of setting up the new account.
    I need both accounts operational during an extended switch-over period as I alert everyone to the e-mail change over. Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem?

    What targeting the Mail.app preference file, do the following:
    Quit the Mail.app first and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail. Copy the Mail folder and place the copy on the Desktop for backup purposes.
    Using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.mail.plist. Move the com.apple.mail.plist file to the Desktop.
    Note: Moving the com.apple.mail.plist file out of the Preferences folder will require re-entering all email account information when re-launching Mail.
    The only exception to this is if you have a .Mac account which will be recreated automatically and/or if you created an email account as part of the computer setup assistant when first turning on the computer when new.
    Launch Mail and decline any prompt to import mailboxes. After re-entering all email account information, the Mail.app should rediscover the existing account named folders and mailbox files at Home > Library > Mail.
    After confirming all mailboxes were successfully rediscovered, you can delete the copy of the Mail folder and old com.apple.mail.plist file from the Desktop.
    Test if this resolves the problem.

  • Adding a Mail Account on the IPhone

    Can any-one help? I am fed up with calling BT!
    I migrated onto BT Mail a few days ago and my mail account stopped working on my iphone.  So I deleted the account and set up a new one with my new password but it will not accept it.
    I decided to try adding it again under my old password and it added the account?!! It is showing my incoming emails but however will not send anything.
    So in short ........
    Web mail works with my new password not the old one
    Laptop works with my new password not the old one
    Iphone mail account only accepts my old password and not my new one (apart from outgoing mail)
    I am logged in on my laptop as we speak with my new password and can see my emails and at the same time I have my mail account open on my iphone with the old password and can see exactly the same as on my computer.
    I have just deleted a email on my iphone and it has shown as deleted on my laptop even though they are both logged in under different passwords.
    I do need to send emails from my mobile too which is the only reason I am bothering to try and sort this out :-(
    Thank you

    I have now added my old password tothe outgoing mail server and I can send emails from my iphone mail account!
    My mail account on the Iphone connects with my laptop account but they are both logged in on different passwords! how can this happen?
    Thank you

  • Cannot add a new email account, and hence icloud account. When i go into Settings - Mail, accounts, calendars,  the option to add a new account cannot be clicked (ghosted). I also have iCloud Settings ghosted (unclickable). Cannot change in itunes also.

    Cannot add a new email account, and hence i have no way of creating an iCloud account (very frustrating). I had the same problem with iOS 4.3 but i had no email account to create as i set both up when i bought the iPhone 4. After adding a company email and a gmail account (both wok perfectly) i noticed that the option to create more email accounts had been ghosted (unclickable). This didn't worry me at the time. However, iCloud needs me to create one in here so i can access the cloud which i desperately want the ability to do. When i go into Settings -> Mail, accounts, calendars,  the option to add a new account cannot be clicked (ghosted). I also have iCloud in the iPhone Settings ghosted (unclickable). I have same problem in itunes on Mac OSX. Surely restoring isn't the solution as i restored my iphone when changing from iOS 4.3 -> 5. Please help?

    Go to
    Settings,
    General,
    Restrictions, type in your Restriction Password,
    Accounts, tick Allow Changes.
    Press the back key a few times till you're back in Settings, you should see iCloud is now highlight able, now go to Mail Contacts and Calenders and add your email account as per norm.
    Hope this helps.

  • ERROR: itunes could not sync mail accounts to the iphone etc.

    Brand new iphone owner. Day two. The initial sync was fie, on the next sync I got the the following error message."iTunes could not sync mail accounts to the iphone (my name) iPhone because the mail accounts are in use by the iPhone. Close the mail accounts settings on the iPhone then sync again."
    I can't find this one in other discussions. HELP!

    You can either setup your mail account settings manually or sync your settings to your phone. If your mail accounts are already setup on your phone, there is no need to have this box checked in itunes.
