400922 - Message>Move>Recent menu shows inbox and junk mail folders - should only show folders used by user, not folders used in the normal course of downloading and filtering mail

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 370324

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, enhancement)

Description

[Paul Rako]

User-Agent:       Opera/9.10 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en)
Build Identifier: 2.0.0.6 (20070728)

The Message>Move>Recent menu shows an in-box entry for each account that may be used. If those accounts have Junk mail folders those also get forced up to the top of the menu due to the volume of mail moved into the folder. The recent Menu should only show recent folders used by user as opposed to folders used in the normal course of downloading and filtering mail.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Receive a greater volume of mail via a pop account than any folder you have explicityly filed mail to.
2.Do this for multiple accounts
3.Multiple inboxes will appear in the Message>Move>Recent menu
Actual Results:  
I get five inbox entrys that have pushed my uselful folders off the list.

Expected Results:  
Activity into the inbox and junk folders should never cause an "inbox" entry to appear in the Message>Move>Recent menu.

Confirming RFE. I think we should exclude all the special folders.

modified summary to more fully match author's intent - "should only show folders used by user, not folders used in the normal course of downloading and filtering mail" - with which I agree.   I could swear this was discussed but I can't find it in an open bug - unless I'm thinking of bug 348401 comment 1.

Note: the same usage data drives folder pane's "Recent Folders".
