Title:
Renaming folder to same name but different case not
I've noticed a problematic behaviour as a consequence of this bug, which
I've described in Bug 104525, but since this thread is related and more
active, I thought I should mention it here too:
In TB 38.2.0 on OSX 10.10.5, when I try to rename a folder in a POP
account, I do *not* get the error
I did a bit of debugging. folderPane.js:2605, folder.rename(aName, msgWindow);,
calls nsImapMailFolder::Rename() which calls nsImapService::RenameLeaf() and
that opens this URL via GetImapConnectionAndLoadUrl():
"imap://u...@mail.com@server:143/rename>.INBOX.TestMessages>.INBOX.testMessages"
Here are my notes - mostly a braindump for my own reference:
Local Folders
nsMsgLocalMailFolder::Rename() performs these steps:
1) calls nsIMsgPluggableStore::RenameFolder() to rename the raw filesystem
artifacts:
* mbox/maildir
* any .sbd dir
* .msf file (actually, I'm not

Thanks. I was in to minds and almost about to cancel the NI since this is going
((too) far) into IMAP. But then on the
It does fit in quite nicely with what I've been looking at with the
EmptyTrash() implementation, so I'm happy to look at it (and in fact, I
just spent a couple of hours poking through the code from where Jorg
left off - I'll write up my thoughts).
I can run a profile off a vfat filesystem (usb

To avoid this, you could just
Postbox would be willing to sponsor the development of this fix if
anyone would like to work on this.
Requirements:
* Cannot be structured as an add-on (as those are no longer supported in
Postbox)
* Cannot rely on changes or APIs made after 52.8 (as Postbox is currently based
on this version)
I'd think that is would even be the final solution, not a workaround. We
can never know what filesystem we are really on (even if we knew, we do
not know all the limit or all exotic systems).
We must just try it. On any system, if we detect the new name only
changes in case, do the renaming dance

This actually works fine for a local folder, but it doesn't work for
IMAP. If you rename folder "Tests" to "tests" you end up with two
versions in the UI. In the subscribe dialogue you only get "tests" and

Aceman, given the high popularity of this bug, can't we use the workaround as
an interim fix when
renaming foo to Foo:
sourcefolder=foo
targetfolder=Foo
if (lcase(sourcefolder) == lcase(targetfolder)) {
- first rename foo to foo.tmp_random
- then rename foo.tmp_random to Foo }

Still an issue in TB 24.5.0, Linux x86_84.

xxx to Abc.
Folder to be renamed should be excluded from existing folder list when
comparing with new name.

We need somebody to test the patch on Windows. On the other OSes it is

filesystem level. Changed case means different name. But what happens on
Windows?
