Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create new 'test' subfolder. 2. Press F2 or chose 'Rename Folder...'. 3. Rename 'test' to 'Test'. Actual Results: Nothing happens. Expected Results: Rename folder to 'Test'. Quick workaround: 1. Rename 'test' to 'test1'. 2. Rename 'test1' to 'Test'.

Just wanted to confirm this problem also for Thunderbird 1.5.0.7 (Windows). Just wondering why it has been marked a duplicate of bug 104525, because the latter deals with IMAP folders. It just happens with any kind of folder created in Thunderbird (e.g. if you try to rename "SuSe" to "SuSE").
Bug 92165 might have been more correct to dupe to. Oh, well... I'd say if that is fixed, the other will also be fixed.
