209026 - renaming mail folders does not work if only case is changed

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 92165

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Silverbanana]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030518
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030518

I tried to rename a folder that is used to categorize mail in the Mozilla mail
client.
While choosing a significantly different name works it failed to rename when I
tried to change the case of a single letter telling me that a folder with such a
name already existed.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Mozilla mail client (you need to have a mail account)
2. Create a folder and call it "foo"
3. Right-click that folder, choose rename and try to rename it to "Foo".

Actual Results:  
A messagebox "Alert":
A folder with that name already exists. Please enter a different name.

Expected Results:  
Rename the folder.

WFM completely. Unsubscribes IMAP, resubscribes folder. However,the mailbox
folder remains the same, since windows is case insensitive.
