Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/98.0.4758.102 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create local folders with a tree structure like in the picture.
2. Rename the root folder.
3. Click on the different folders.
4. Restart Thunderbird.

Actual results:

The root folder to be renamed will not have the desired name. It will take the name of the last sub-folder created.

In addition, when renaming, all other folders will take the same name at display level.

Additional case if ever instead of naming the folder "/2" we name it "2/22". At the level of the files after the renaming, it will consider that as 2 folders (2/22 and 22) and the 2 will have the same sub structure. For the new folder that it will create, the mails will not be duplicated but the msf files will be.

Expected results:

Do not allow the use of / in local folders, depending on its placement in the folder name the behavior will be different. But it is never interesting.
