[rfe] when in "recent" folders view, newly created folder should show up.

I'm using version 2 beta 1 (20061231) on mac os x 10.4.8

here's what I did:

1) in recent folder view, attempt to create an imap folder
2) my plan was to then drag and drop messages into that folder, but the folder is not in that view.
3) once I did a menu move to the folder, the new folder showed up in the recent folder view.

would it be possible to make newly created folders show up in recent view?

Attachment: proposed fix

add folders discovered after recent folders array was built to datasource. You need to actually select the folder or copy messages into it for it to stay in the recent view if you shutdown and restart.

If somehow this causes too many folders to be added to the mru list, e.g., newly discovered imap folders, then we might want to look at the mru time for the folders, but I think this should be OK.

fixed on trunk and branch. The other nice thing is that the new folder shows up in the recent items sub-menu of move/copy menu.
