I can't really tell what the problem is. What does "didn't display even displayed successfully" mean?

Updating the summary. I mean that the "." folder's name displayed on NSM server but not displayed on 5.0 UI.

the problem is very specific to '.', it turns out. In fact, we are displaying the '.' folder, but we're displaying it as the server, so the server appears as a child of itself. So, I have "bienvenu on tintin.mcom.com" as a child of "bienvenu on tintin.mcom.com" and I would expect that you do as well, Karen (in case you've filed another bug on that - it's actually the same bug). What happens is we parse the URL for the '.' folder, and think it's really the server, so we put the server in twice. Thanks to Alec for figuring this out.
Target Milestone: M16
Yes. This problem is very specific to '.' I can create "a.b" folder name but cannot see "." folder name on 5.0 seamonkey UI...
Not critical for this release.
