I'm always accidentally hitting the Junk button when I meant to press the Delete button. They are side by side and Junk is one of the most frequent buttons I use. To Delete an email, I just hit my keyboard Delete button I'd like to be able to re-order these action buttons, and if I had this ability, I'd move the Junk button to between the ReplyAll and the Forward buttons. This way if I make a mistake, I just have to close the email window, rather than having to find the Junked email and un-do the mistake.

There is an add-on to select and order the header buttons:

Thanks so much! But I'm such a novice, I need to know how to get the add-on/in into Thunderbird once I downloaded it.

Open the Add-ons Manager, click the gear icon, 'Install add-on from file'... select the xpi file.
