Steps to reproduce:

In bug 809066 we discovered that in order to show recent folders in the MoveTo/CopyTo menu's ALL folders need to be loaded in memory to iterate over their properties (last modified I guess)

bug 809066 helps a bit by moving this list to a sub menu.

Actual results:

This is causing delays when you have a lot of data because loading from disk can be slow.
It causes me to report bug 1504141.

Expected results:

The list of recent folders should be available without the need to open all data files.

There must be a memory structure listing all folders already ... could a last modified timestamp be added there?

aleca, any thoughts on this, given your recent experience?

p.s. note bug 1504141

Mh, not sure how we might handle the cache.
In the folderPane.js we have the gFolderTreeView controller with the nsITreeView implementation which comes with the full map of folders loaded at startup.
I'm not sure how easy/doable would be to tap that controller inside the filter dialog as, if I'm not wrong, those lists are fetched with a completely different method.
I'll investigate, but I'm not sure I'm the most educated dev to tackle this issue.
I'll give it a try anyway.

Herman, how is version 102?

If it still occurs, please create a performance profile using version 102 from https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/ and the procedure at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiling-thunderbird-performance

Sorry for the delay, I've have no more issues with this recently.
