Created attachment 8370331 WIP patch 2 This is an updated version that implements the atomic move of the folder to the final destination, as requested.
The search for a new free folder name is not inside the block where we check if this move is to the Trash folder. That means this automatic renaming works also when copying/moving/dragging to any other folder. That could be a nice feature. Do we want it? Or do we only want this when moving a folder to Trash? Neil is this still a wrong place to do it and can you propose a better one that David Bienvenu was talking about? -- 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/214366 Title: Can't delete a folder if Trash already contains a folder of the same name Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News: In Progress Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird 1. Create a new folder, eg. "Temp" 2. Delete it, OK 3. Create the same folder again 4. Delete it, OK I expect it to be moved to my Trash folder, perhaps with a suffix appended (it being the second instance of that folder in the trash). Thunderbird popped up an error message. On an imap host: The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: Mailbox already exists. In the local folders: A folder with that name already exists. Please enter a different name (!) Workarounds: 1. Empty the trash 2. Rename the folder before deletion 3. Rename the folder already in the trash 4. Delete (permanently) the folder that is already in the trash Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy thunderbird 2.0.0.12+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.7.10.0 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/214366/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
