How do I increase the number of "move to" or "copy to" folders in Thunderbird version 102.*?

Currently mail.folder_widget.max_recent is set to 25 but I only have a maximum of 5 recent folders showing in the 'move to'/'copy to' command

It would appear the recent list is limited to folders in the past 31 days. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1304864

Thank you - that is really unfortunate that the developers make such decisions when they should really be left in the hands of the user who understands their own needs. I only have about 15 folders that I move things to and it would really be useful if I could just keep without them disappearing. Oh well - time for a suggestions for a fix
