357702 - inappropriate error message when deleting a folder and a folder with same name is in trash

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 66763

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Michael Schierl]

User-Agent:       Opera/9.02 (Windows NT 5.1; U; de)
Build Identifier: Version 1.5.0.7 (20060909)

When deleting a folder, and another folder with same name has been deleted before, an error message shows up that suggests to "enter a different name"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Below "Inbox", create a folder named "Blah"
2. Delete this folder
3. Belo "Inbox", create another folder named "Blah"


Actual Results:  
An error occurs that suggests to "enter a different name"

Expected Results:  
The folder gets moved to the recycle bin, and renamed there if needed (like "Blah2" or "Blah_2").

Or a descriptive error appears that suggests to rename the folder first.

I used the German version of Thunderbird; it can be that the English message is named more appropriately.

Oops, somehow step 4 got lost :(
4. Delete the second folder named "Blah"

Sorry.

Unfortunately, a very old bug.
