Summary: Folder Names cannot be read with Screen Readers in search dialogue → Folder Names cannot be read with Screen Readers in Search Messages dialogue

Talked to the reporter through different channels due to changed e-mail addresses. This is fixed in current Thunderbird, the list merely needs to be expanded via Alt+DownArrow first. Closing as WFM.
