Created attachment 645623 Proposed patch Happy 11th birthday! I have for you a present.
Feedback welcome. The bug has nothing to do with case-insensitive file systems (the underlying file renames are performed with rename(2) on Linux/OS X and MoveFileExW on Windows, which can handle case changes just fine). The bug is entirely in the way Thunderbird was handling names. I've only tested this on OS X. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/106737 Title: Renaming folder to same name but different case not allowed Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News: Confirmed Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird In 1.5.0.10, renaming the folder "foo" to "foO", "fOo" or "Foo" isn't allowed; the OK button isn't clickable upon typing the new name. However, this can be worked around by renaming the folder "foo" to "bar" first, and then renaming "bar" to "foO".
