I have many folders of emails stored 'On My Mac', not on the servers. I have been keeping emails filed like this for many years and have a LOT of folders. These folders used to be arranged alphabetically, which was great but over time have become totally un-alphabetical, which is a pain and makes finding a particular folder very difficult and time consuming. I have searched high and low on the internet for a solution to get them back into aplhabetical order without success. Is there a simple way, perhaps by editing or deleting a preference file? (I really don't want to manually drag the folders into order as it would take hours!)

Strangely and annoyingly, when i want to file an email away and I right click a message and choose 'Move To' or 'Copy To', all the folders show up in alphabetical order!

Thanks in advance for any pointers/simple solutions.
