I can verify this: Using Entourage X, I created:
INBOX
|- Test <- INBOX/.Test (subscribed)
|- Subtest <- INBOX/.Test.Subtest (subscribed)
Upon renaming "Test" to "Newname" These were the results:
INBOX
|- Newname <- INBOX/.Newname (subscribed)
|- Newnamebtest <- INBOX/.Newnamebtest (UNsubscribed)
So the renaming routine overwrote the first 7 characters of the filesystem
name ("Test.Su") with "Newname". It's overrunning the dot to the length of
the new name.
Here's a rename to a shorter name:
INBOX
|- Newname <- INBOX/.Newname (subscribed)
|- Subnew <- INBOX/.Newname.Subnew (subscribed)
INBOX
|- Short <- INBOX/.Short (subscribed)
| |- Subnew <- INBOX/.Short.Subnew (phantom)
|- Shortme <- INBOX/.Shortme (UNsubscribed)
| |- Subnew <- INBOX/.Shortme.Subnew (UNsubscribed)
The phantom subdirectory is likely just Entourage's cache.
