Current behavior of commands "Copy to" and "Move to" is such that
when you select "Recent" as destination Thunderbird displays names
of recently used directories.
What is strange "recently used directory" means in fact "directory
used as target of move or copy operation disregarding what kind of
operation had been used": manual (what is expected) or automatic
(as result of filtering action of Thunderbird, executed in the
background).

The second case has no sense at all: if there is a filter it is
rather improbable that user may want to select manually
destination used in the filter. Even more, if there is a number of
filters in regular use, there is very low chance, that "Recent"
list contains *any* manually selected directory.

Thus it seems reasonable to use destination directories *used only
in manual move/copy operations* to create/update "recent" list.
