User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; HP-UX 9000/785; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021216 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; HP-UX 9000/785; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021216 I created a local folder called "Inbox200211-2002?". I then "filed" many messages from my IMAP inbox to it. The operation was successful. However, when I tried to delete several entries in "Inbox200211-2002?" and compress the folder, the compression hung. The msf file became corrupted. Renaming the folder to "Inbox200211-2002xx" and then compressing cured the problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create local folder named "testfolder?" 2. Copy or file many (10) messages to it 3. Access the folder and attempt to read messages Actual Results: I cannot read the messages. They do not appear in the message view window. Renaming the folder to remove the "?" allows the messages to be read. Expected Results: Displayed the messages in the folder "testfolder?" should be readable.
