259280 - cannot change case (upper / lower) in folder name

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 92165

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Florian Effenberger]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 0.7.3

I cannot change a folders spelling from uppercase to lowercase and vice versa as
internally, the folder name seems to be equal.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a folder "SuSE"
2. Rename the folder to "SUSE"

Actual Results:  
Error message (translated): "A folder with the same name does exist"

Expected Results:  
Rename should work.

Workaround: Rename to something else and then rename back to your originally
choice. Example: SuSE -> SUSE 2 -> SUSE

to make that clear, if i want to change a foldername by just switching some of
the letters to another upper/lower case state, he tells me that that folder
already exists.

[hrvoje lončar]

e.g. checking for folder name change should be case sensitive

I don't get the error message but I certainly see this bug. In my case nothing happens when I press the OK button to change the name to a different case. 

There is a workaround: change to something one letter different and then change back with the new case.
