Josiah does not propose to differ. The last patch does rename to (x).

I think user should never move to Trash as temporary measure. Notice may have the automatic mechanisms enabled that remove messages from trash (retention settings e.g. old messages, only x last messages, etc.) so he may easily loose those temporarily moved messages. He gets the warning about "Really delete" in both of the cases you describe. That should be a clue for him. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/214366 Title: Can't delete a folder if Trash already contains a folder of the same name To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/214366/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
