(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1.8) Gecko/20100227 Thunderbird/3.0.3

The recent folders window/pane is not sorted in 3.0.  This makes the feature much harder to use.

It was properly sorted in 2.0.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Starting with "All Folders", click the left arrow until "Recent Folders" appears.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Not sorted alphabetically.


Expected Results:  
Sort alphabetically, regardless of account.


I have ~100 message filters to put new messages into appropriate folders.  There are ~2000 folders after years of archiving.  It is very hard to find new incoming messages without the properly updated Recent Folders that was present in previous versions.

For those of us that get ~500 messages per day on 7 accounts, this is really annoying!

This also occurs under Windows 7.  It was sorted properly under the prior version of Thunderbird for Windows.
