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