List of folders to move messages to will not update after loading the above-mentioned released version. Folder list is static after several weeks of using the latest released version.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. From the Message List frame, right-click any message (single or multiple).
2. From the displayed menu, select "Move to"
3. Next, select "Recent"
4. A list of recently used folders appears. This list of recently used folders remains static, never changing despite daily use.
Actual Results:  
This list of recently used folders remains static, never changing despite daily use.

Expected Results:  
The "Recent" list of folders should automatically update to reflect the most recently used folders. This auto-update of the folder list was functional in earlier releases of Thunderbird.
Keywords: mail1, mail6
Version: unspecified → 2.0
Problem began after automatic updating to version mentioned above.
John, do you still see the problem?  if you do, what happens if you remove panacea.dat?

Since posting this bug, Thunderbird on my PC has since updated itself to 2.0.0.14 (20080421). Immediately upon use of the newer version, the folder list changed. To the best of my knowledge, since the update the folder list has been updating itself.

I have not been able to try deleting the PANACEA.DAT file as I no longer have the Thunderbird version mentioned in the original bug report.
hmm, would be interesting to know what fixed it, if it was a bug. But I'm not seeing anything in bugzilla.
=> WFM per reporter.
