Details

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.61 [en] (Win95; I) BuildID: 2000101014 If we try to create a subfolder in Inbox or Unsent messages folders in any mail account then it doesn't allows to do so. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start the browser.Click tasks -> mail to open the mail window. 2.Right click the selected folder or click file ->new -> folder. 3.Give a name in the name field in the newfolder dialogue box.Click on the account tab to select the account and the folder. 4.We see the Inbox folder in all the mail account and the unsent messages folder in the local folder tab are grayed out. Actual Results: The Inbox on all the mail accounts and the Unsent messages in the local folders are grayed out and even if we select them it doesn't do anything. Expected Results: The sub-folder creation should have been allowed with these folders as well i.e. they shouldn't have been grayed out.
Sashish, none of the bugs you filed have anything to do with the mail database. When you pick the wrong component, the bugs get filed on the wrong person. Plus, you need to say whether you're using IMAP or POP3 at a very minimum when describing mail bugs. This seems like a front end bug if it's the front end refusing to let you create sub-folders. However, for IMAP (if you're using IMAP), some servers do NOT let you create sub-folders of the INBOX, so if you're talking about IMAP, and you're using one of those servers, that part of this bug is invalid.

Yes. As David mentioned above that there are some IMAP servers not allowing to create the subfodlers under the Inbox. But, if this bug is describing POP mail, then this bug should be dup of bug 52460 -- Verified as dup.
