Alphabetizing Folder Lists

[Ildhund]

If you're talking about the accounts as displayed in the Folder Pane, you
decide the order. Right-click on an account and select Move up or Move down
as appropriate.

Folders within an account are, as far as I can see, fixed in that Inbox, . .
. Deleted items stay put at the top and user-defined folders in alphabetical
order below that. If I rename one of them, it has relocated itself to its
proper alphabetical location next time I open the program.

Or have I misunderstood?

I changed the name of one of my folders. Does anybody know how to get
WLMDb
to re-alphabetize the folder list?
I cannot find a command for this, and relaunching WLMDb or synchronizing
do
not work. I checked the account outside of WLMDb, and the list is correct
at
hotmail.

Weird. Is the order different if you hit Ctrl Y? If not, could you have
leading spaces that would muck up the order? Otherwise, I'm baffled.

No, you have not misunderstood.
When I relaunch WLMDb, my user-defined folder is still located at the
position that it was in before I changed its name.

Mark: did you ever resolve this? How?

Mark: Ctrl-Y is the keyboard shortcut* (in en-us clients, at any rate) for
View > Go to folder... It should show you a dialogue box with all your
folders, and at least in my case the user-defined ones are in alphabetical
order in that box. Since you posted via the web interface, I can't find out
where you are located - so I can't see whether language/locale settings
could have any bearing on the sorting order for your user-defined folders.

You could try using WLMd as a newsgroup client - that's part of the object
of this exercise, after all.

* Some keyboard shortcuts are probably almost universal in any Windows
environment, particularly the ones that are based on a visual rendering,
like Ctrl-X meaning "cut", with the "X" representing a pair of scissors, or
its companion Ctrl-V meaning "paste", mimicking the centuries-old
proofreader's symbol for "insert here". Ctrl-P probably means "print" in
almost any application, just like Ctrl-N means "new". But Ctrl-F for "find"
probably only works in English-language environments or locales, and
(without knowing) I would guess that "find" in Spanish is Ctrl-B for
"buscar". Ctrl-Z is almost undoubtedly a universal shortcut saying "That was
a bloody stupid thing to do. Let's go back to where we were before I did
it." But Ctrl-Y might mean almost anything. Sure, it sometimes means the
opposite of Ctrl-Z -"Oh, OK, it wasn't so stupid after all. Let's stick with
it," or "Gee, that was smart. Let's do it again"- but not in WLMd, which is
what makes me think that "Go to folder..." might be something other than
Ctrl-Y in non-English environments.

I did not receive e-mail notification for your 01-12-2007 post.
For what function is Ctrl-Y in WLMDb?
(The issue remains.)

Hello Noel:

When I hit Ctrl-Y, the only items and folders displayed in the "Go to
Folder" dialog box are (in order):

Search folders
All feeds
Unread feeds
Your feeds
(An expanded list of my feeds folders and subfolders)
Deleted items

This happens no matter what view I am using, no matter what is displayed in
the WLMDb folder pane, and no matter where the focus is located.

None of my e-mail accounts or folders display.
