Default identity for Local Folders
When I have Inbox selected in Local Folders, where do I set the default identity that is used if I Write a new email? Up until a few days ago, it always set the From address from my primary account. Now, it defaults to another account in my list. How can I set it back to the one I want?
I rearranged my account folder list the other day using the "Manually Sort Folders" add-on. I'm pretty sure that's what caused the mix up.

The default account is usually the one at the top of the list. Right click on a mail account and select 'Settings' the one at the top in Account Settings window should be the one set up as default.
Select the mail account name which you want as default. Click on 'Account Actions' Select 'Set as default' If 'set as default' is greyed out, then that mail account is one you have set up as default.

As you are using the Manually Sort fodlers addon, there should be means of choosing the default account. See info obtained from addon webpage:
UPDATED.... It would seem my first comment is still the way to do this.
In 'Manually Sort Folders' > 'Sort Accounts' tab It clearly states that the 'First Account in Folder Pane' is also set as default account.

Thanks! I knew the setting was there somewhere, but didn't see it hiding down in Account Actions
