Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(MailNews Core :: Networking: IMAP, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040626 Firefox/0.9.1

I can drag folders and subfolders around in an IMAP account, but when I try to
move it to the top-level (by dragging it to the account name), I get this error: 
"The current command did not succeed. The mailserver responded: Mailbox exists."

Thunderbirds IMAP log, the bit where I try to move subfolder to the toplevel:

1004[27090d8]: 25c0178:server:A:CreateNewLineFromSocket: 9 NO Mailbox exists.

Apparently it tries to copy the folder to itself (3rd line from the bottom),
causing the error from the server, although I drag the subfolder to the toplevel...



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. create an IMAP folder and subfolder
2. drag the subfolder to the toplevel of the IMAP account
3.

Actual Results:  
Error from IMAP server:
"The current command did not succeed. The mailserver responded: Mailbox exists."

Expected Results:  
Move the subfolder to the toplevel, sending:
     server:A:SendData: 9 rename "folder;subfolder" "subfolder"
instead of:
     server:A:SendData: 9 rename "folder;subfolder" "folder;subfolder"

- The IMAP server is dovecot 0.99.10 which works fine with Mozilla/Thunderbird
for most other things, except that I suspect 
- The settings for IMAP server directory and Namespace are left blank, server
supports subfolders enabled.
- MailNews 1.8a2 reproduced exactly the same behaviour as TB 0.7.3. When I do
the same with Eudora, all works fine.
