User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312 When importing mail from Outlook or from Eurdora, all folders that contain the "/" character failed. I then tried to manually create a local folder containing the "/" character and it failed and did not give any type of message or suggestion. Although this happened on Windows PC, it was also tried on PC running Linux with same results. If attempt to create a folder containing a "/" is done on the mail server, a message saying that the mail server doesn't support "/" in names is returned. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Highlight a local folder 2.Right click to "add sub folder" 3.Fill in folder name such as "this/that" and click OK 4.Note that new folder popup just sets there and no folder is created Actual Results: New folder popup just sets there and no new folder is created. Expected Results: Should have provided an error popup saying that "/" characters are not supported in folder names and offer alternative legal choices.
