If you rename an existing virtual folder(previously using default name), any
future virtual folders created using the default name gets renamed. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Send 3 messages to self (ie subject title: test 1, test 2, test 3)
2.  Once received, goto Edit|Find|Search Messages and search for subject "test"
3.  Click on Save as Virtual Folder button.
4.  Use default folder name "Inboxsearch-vew" and click OK.
5.  Rename the virtual folder(right-click) to "Inboxsearch-test", then OK.
6.  Go back to Inbox and do another search for "1" (Step 2)
7.  Repeat Step 3.
8.  Repeat Step 4 and save your virtual folder using the same default name
previously used.

Actual Results:  
The 2nd virtual folder gets renamed to "Inboxsearch-test".

Expected Results:  
The 2nd virtual folder should have been "Inboxsearch-view".

If you rename the 2nd virtual folder to a different name and try to save a 3rd
virtual folder using the same default name used initially, the saving function
now fails(ie: clicking the OK button in the Create Virtual Folders dialog fails
to function)

Trix, you can assign any of the virtual folder bugs to me directly. 

Re this bug, I think the core problem is that we don't detect that a virtual
folder with a given name already exists - we shouldn't allow that.
