How do I edit the order of the mailboxes on the "Move selected messages" Mail icon?

It looks like High Sierra broke the hack that allowed you to reorder the Move drop-down feature on the menu. You use to be able to order it any way you like by selectively enabling/disabling the account in the Mail > Preferences > Accounts. Now it seems to be in alphabetical order.

Is anyone else experiencing the same? Any ideas on how to make it list in the order that you want? I want my iCloud account to appear first and now it looks like gmail and outlook accounts will appear higher.

Hi Travis, I have this same problem. Did you ever find a solution?

Hello, were you ever able to solve this problem that pastorron described? I have the same question/problem.

thanks,

Brad

This still is not working for me. Yes, I have the mailboxes listed in the preferred order in System Preferences > Internet Accounts, and yes, they are listed in the preferred order in Mail in the left sidebar. But no, when I use the "Move Selected Message" button in the Toolbar, it still refuses to show the mailboxes in the preferred order, and there is no option in that button dropdown to reorder them. I'm guessing maybe there's some sort of Terminal command that might fix it, but I don't know what that would be.

I think I understand your question. Assuming you have multiple accounts, on the Inbox set of mail accounts you can drag one account to where you want it - note, there is no indication that it actually changes - then quit mail and restart it. It should reflect that change and thus affect how you file your messages. I just tried this a couple of times.

For your local mail boxes on your Mac, do you have them showing or hidden on the left hand side of your window? That makes a difference when you choose the Move option.

Thank you that worked for me! I was also able to highlight those I wished to move and move them bodily.
