Hi Chuck, The folder list does not show expand/collapse buttons for the sent-mail folder. That's because most users have just the one sent-mail folder and no subfolders within it. But if you create a folder and then create subfolders inside, then the folder list will show the expand/collapse button. The rename of the parent folder will be even more problematic. E.g. if folder 'a' has subfolder 'b' and I try renaming 'a' to 'c', I get: Error Renaming "a/b" to "a/b" failed. This is what the server said: Error Renaming "a/" to "a/" failed. This is what the server said: Error Renaming "a" to "a" failed. This is what the server said: Notice that the new name does not contain 'c'. I've submitted the bug. Thanks for looking into this.
