as I said, TB doesn't store them anywhere. Recent
Folders is the last recent folders you have accessed.
Recent Folders is a View Setting. Its just like you
clicking on View, Sort By, to sort the way you see your
messages. When you click on those little arrows, all
you're seeing is a different View for the
Accounts/Folders Pane. If you click on View, Folders,
then you get the same settings as clicking on those
little arrows.
