236143 - unable to rename folder when only changing CAPTIALLETTER to smallletter

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 92165

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Andreas Schrafl]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8

When you want to change a Foldername of a Folder or a Subfolder in Thunderbird
it refuses to change the name (Same name) when you just change a CAPITALLETTER
to a smallletter or viceversa.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a Folder
2. Rename Folder and olny change the foldername by changing one or many
CAPITALLETTERS to smallletters or viceversa

Actual Results:  
A Dialog appears that Thunderbird can't rename the Folder because it has
allready a Folder with that name in this Folder.

Expected Results:  
The Foldername should change.

I think this is general not possible that a Folder gets identified by
CAPITALLETTERS and samllletters. This would be helpful to if you want to make
even more different Filters. I think Thunderbird should be based Unicode so that
every Letter in almost every Language is possible. With that it would be
possible to have Foldernames that only differ by CAPITAL or small letters.
