Account order in Main Window

[myaffee]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel
Email Client: imap

Is there any way to change the order that accounts display in the Folder List area of the Main Window? On one computer, my Exchange account displays at the top of the Folder List and my IMAP account displays below it. On another computer, it's the reverse. In both cases, the Exchange account is selected as the default account in the Accounts setup screen.

The only thing I can think of that may have been different was the order in which I added the accounts on each computer. I'd really like to be able to change the order WITHOUT having to delete and recreate one of the accounts because then Entourage is going to have to re-download thousands of messages when I recreate the account (I like to keep a copy of all messages locally as well as on the server).

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Starting with Entourage 2008, the default account is listed on top.
Previously folders "On My Computer" was always on top.

Set default account in the Accounts window under Tools in the Menu bar.

Thanks, Diane. I tried that though, and it's not working. Interestingly, it DOES work on my MacBook Pro but it doesn't work on the PowerMac G5. Both are running OS X 10.5.7 and Entourage 12.1.9 (090515). Could this be a bug in the PowerPC code that doesn't exist on the Intel side? Any other thoughts about why setting an account as the default account changes the order of the accounts on my MacBook but not on the PowerMac?

Thanks!

Not that has been reported.

Double check to see that the same account is set as default in the Accounts
window. It should show as bold. If they are both set correctly, send me a
screenshot off list of your Account window.

Diane,

How do I send you a screen shot? I tried (e-mail address removed) but that bounces back to me.

Thanks,
