In nsMsgLocalMailFolder::CopyFolder it seems when we are moving folder then it 
calls CopyFolderLocal (which I am touching). If we are copying then it calls 
CopyFolderAcrossServer (which I do not touch). So if CopyFolderAcrossServer 
merges, then all is fine. Is that what you meant?

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
