(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3

created folders in my inbox, ie: google, amazon etc, Then decided i would prefer
folder names like 'Google', 'Amazon' (capitalised). When trying to do this,
Thunderbird returns: 'A folder with that name already exists. Please enter a
different name'.

Thunderbird needs to do a case sensitive search on existing folder names before
deciding whether or not the name exists or not.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create folder in inbox, say 'test'
2. right click it, choose rename folder
3. rename it to 'Test' (capital T)

Actual Results:  
Thunderbird throws error:

'A folder with that name already exists. Please enter a different name'

Expected Results:  
Thunderbird should have simply renamed the folder with the capital letter
