When you create a folder which has a hash (#) in the name the folder, when
accessed, will not open and the screen will show the contents of the previous
folder.  Renaming it fixes this problem again.  Maybe block using hash in folder
names in a future release?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create folder with a hash (#) in the name
2. Dump mail into it
3. try and open the folder

Actual Results:  
screen shows contents of last folder, cannot access mail in the folder

Expected Results:  
open the mail in the folder
maybe related to bug 131013
