Dataloss
A number of my mailbox folders are mispelled, in that they are all shown in 
capital (upper case) letters.  I don't see the patterns, but the following are 
examples:

Real name (via 4.7)    Fake name (via 5.0, 1/20 build on Win 98)
nice                   NICE
spam                   SPAM
Inbox                  INBOX
nsx                    NSX
lunch                  LUNCH
y2K                    Y2K

I also have many "correctly" reported names:
Trash
China
ramanlunch
Status
Stock
ThinkPad
cpd_mngrs

I can't see the pattern.  The thing that attracted my attention was when I tried 
to file a message into my "spam" folder, I was given an error message along the 
lines of "Server reports no such folder".  The bad news was that the message 
vanished from my inbox, but never made it into the "spam" folder (which is 
mis-spelled on 5.0 as SPAM).


Note that I have many messages in my IMAP folders here on Win 98... and this 
*might* be related to other IMAP download problems!

It turns out this is not dataloss... the MIA message returns to the Inbox 
eventually.  
It is disturbing that I can't file messages, and that I can't view (most of) the 
 misspelled folders.  I can read my mispelled "INBOX", but can't look at my 
mispelled "SPAM" (maybe this is a feature! ;-) ).

Putting on the pdt+ radar.

Not sure whose bug this is. Starting with bienvenu, cc jefft and sspitzer

fixed by respecting the online name as returned by the server, and not using the 
name of the msf file - win98 tends to munge file names in strange ways.

Used Win98 2000-01-27-08-M14 commercial build:

Only the Inbox still keep the upper case "INBOX" in 5.0 now..but 5.0 still can
recognize the INBOX.
Now, all the folders described from this bug displayed correctly and can been
recognized in 5.0, also file/copy the msgs to these folders are working OK now.
Marking as verified!
