The existence or not o a folder in "Recent Folders", a welcome change in 2.0, is inconsistent. After moving a mail to an existing folder, the destination folder sometimes starts to exist in "Recent folders", band othertimes it dowsn'. I have not been able yet to identify any logic in it. I frequently use folders 4 times deep "Clientes/Admp_Publica/Min_Ciencia/Biocant", for instance. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.I really do not know. Use IMAP. Use 4 layers of depth in folders 2. 3. Expected Results: Everytime i move a message to a folder it should show up in Recent Folders
I confirm this with version 2.0.0.6 (20071022). When I move messages to a folder, or visit folder, the folder is not always added to the recent list. The semantics of "Recent" are not very clear. Does it mean a folder that new mail has been added to (by filters)? A folder that I've recently selected to view messages in? A folder that I've moved or copied messages to/from?
Also note: I'm using SMTP, not IMAP. A folder in "Local Folders" is not added to Recent, but s subfolder of one in Local Folders (actually 2-3 layers deep) is in Recent.

My understanding is "A folder that I've moved or copied messages to/from". Actually, I observed such a behavior myself just now. My first guess was that the folder was not added to the list "because" it has subfolders.
duping to 370324, which is newer - but it is already confirmed, and has more info

question: do you still see this problem? I have a frequently used 3-deep local folder and it appears in "move again" shortcut and it appears in "recent folders". But it does not appear on move to > recent Need to determine if there really is an issue with "deep folders", separate from bug 370324. Or whether new bug is needed.

With Thunderbird 3.0 b2 I still have the same problem - both with "move again to" and "recent folders" . Three layers deep folder.
