Is there a way to change the real order of accounts in Thunderbird, and thus change the order in which they are checked for new mail?
I read this thread in the KB and I tried this extension (which I guess just does the prefs.js editing for you?), but while the display order was changed in Tools > Account Settings (the only place I see such a change, because I feed all accounts into Local Folders), they appeared to be getting checked in the same sequence as always. (I want Gmail to be checked first, or I guess second, since I don't want to set it as default.)
Is there a way to do this short of deleting the accounts and re-creating them in the desired order? (I'm not sure that's even it -- I didn't see any logic to the way they were ordered before I started messing around with it, and I'm pretty sure that the account that was at the bottom was created before the one right above it.)
