This is probably related to bug 22474, which is showing the truncation of a ">" character.

No, it's just that we're escaping the new folder name when we create the url, but not unescaping it when we pull it out of the url. I'm not sure if the fix is to not escape the folder name at all, or to unescape when we pull it out.

Actually, I take it back. '>' is used internally as the IMAP_URL_TOKEN_SEPARATOR. I.e, when we create an imap url, we use the '>' character to separate parts of the url. So when we're parsing the url, we get confused by '>' as part of a folder name. 4.5 has this same problem, as near as I can tell, but no one has noticed, as far as I can tell.

server products don't go away just because their vendors do. that said this server probably migrated via iplanet to sun(one).

Confirming that I still have this problem on 115.8.0 (64-bit) on mac, working with my own domain's IMAP server. I have just started using Thunderbird -- with my previous mail client I created a lot of folders with ">" in the name. Thunderbird displays them OK but is unable to rename any of them, the rename operation just silently reverts to the original folder name. I think it is interpreting the ">" as an IMAP instruction.
