Not clear from the documentation whether rename "Mail/Applications/ASRIP/" "Mail/Applications/AAA/" as used by Thunderbird when renaming directories should be acceptable.
A trailing hierarchy separator is mentioned just once in RFC 3501; as part of the definition of the CREATE command and as having special semantics with that command. There is no reason to believe that these semantics exist anywhere else; thus this is a bug in Thunderbird.
Nonetheless, I have determined that UW imapd handles a command such as this in an inconsistent fashion. It actually depends upon the driver whether or not it works. Because of this, and because of this reported behavior of Thunderbird, I have decided to make UW imapd be more permissive, and this will appear in the imap-2005 release.
