I renamed a folder and used the "/" character as part of the new name. The new
name is displayed with the "/" showing in the pane, but all the mails in the
folder disappear.
Any more attempt to rename the folder fails with the following message in a
pop-up window. "The folder could not be renamed. Perhaps the folder is being
reparsed, or the new name is not a valid folder name."
However, when I closed and restart Thunderbird the original name without the "/"
character reappeared together with the "missing" mails in the folder.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Rename a folder and use the character "/" as part of the new name
2. The folder name changes in the pane and the mails in the folder disappear
3. Attempt to rename the folder and remove the "/" and you will get the error
message I mentioned above.
4. Restart Thunderbird
Actual Results:
The old name of the folder (before I renamed it with "/" as part of the new
name) reappears; the missing mails in the folder reappear.
Expected Results:
If "/" is an invalid character in a folder name; it ought not to apparently
allow a new name, nor should the mails in the folder seem to disappear. A pop-up
with an error message that so-and-so characters are invalid characters in a
folder name is more appropriate.
