Folder order

[Guest]

Howdy.
Can I reorder my folder list?
I have 4 folders -
Inbox - Junk - Personal - Work
They are listed in that order - alphabetically.
I'd like them in the following order
Inbox
Work
Personal
Junk
I haven't found a way to reorder them, can I?
My fix - I renamed Work to "Io - Work" so it falls just after Inbox and
before Junk.
Thank you very much.

True statement.

Inbox

That's because ther is no way to reorder them.

My fix - I renamed Work to "Io - Work" so it falls just after Inbox
and before Junk.

You've found a practical work-around.

Brian,
Thank you.
Having that Junk Mail folder listed right after the Inbox made me way to
aware of the Junk when it arrived, checking it too frequently.
Hopefully at the bottom, as I have a bunch of sub-folders in work, I won't
check it often.
Cheers
Mike

As others mentioned, they are alphabetical, but you can use special
characters like .,!* and so on.

I just tried it out and by adding a period or two or more, you can reorder
folders without having to "rename" them.

BEFORE:
Inbox - Catchall
Inbox - Forum Admin
Inbox - Webmaster

AFTER:
...Inbox - Webmaster
..Inbox - Catchall
Inbox - Forum Admin

Try experimenting with spaces and stuff.

Yeah. Would just be easier if you could reorder them....
