This is really a similar bug to 

Bugzilla Bug # 93863  
   subfolders of Drafts and Sent folders show Sender address not Receiver 

But I'm running with IMAP and my server does not allow for a folder to both
contain messages and have subfolders. Therefore, I have the "Server supports
folders that contain sub-folders and messages" unchecked. So instead I have an
"OldSent" folder outside of "Sent". And for reasons exactly like in bug #93863 
 I'd love to be able to configure OldSent to show the receiver instead of the
sender (Which is always me)

But because of IMAP, I cannot put OldSent under Sent, so some other
configuration would be necessary to achieve this.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Move some mail to a folder other than Sent
2. See that it is impossible to se the recipient in the mail list pane



Expected Results:  
Allowed me to choose to show the recipient instead of the sender for that
particular folder e.g. via a "Treat as Draft / Sent mail folder" folder
properties option.

In a private email conversation the reporter convinced me that this bug actually
isn't a dupe of Bug 36492.

With Bug 36492 fixed you still can't select which column to be displayed on a
*per folder basis*. You could only select both columns to be showed for all folders.

This bug wants just one column for Sender and Receiver, but with the possibility
to configure which column to show for each folder separatly.

If it ain't one thing, then it's another... :)
