Steps to reproduce:
- I have Thunderbird connected to an IMAP account (haven't tried reproducing with local folders only, although should work in principle).
- Have two folders "Alpha" and "Beta" and two subfolders "Alpha/Sub" and "Beta/Sub"
- Create a message filter with any conditions and action "Move message to", select "Alpha/Sub" as destination.
Actual results:
When I want to check what the filter does and open it with Edit from filters list, in the Actions list I see:
"Move message to" // "Sub on username@server.name"
I have no obvious way to check whether this is "Alpha/Sub" or "Beta/Sub".
Well, while reporting this bug I accidentally found that the destination selector has full folder name in its tooltip, so there is a way, but at least for some users this is not obvious enough.
Expected results:
The destination folder name in the Actions list should include parent folders' names, not just the subfolder name, at least if there are several known folders with the same name.

Exactly this has been discussed recently in Bug 2017270, so I'm tending to mark this as WONTFIX,

Sorry for not finding the previous discussion. Looks like it would be nice to have a hint of some kind that there's valuable info in the tooltip.
