From memory, in outlook, if we try to delete a folder where its name already exist in the trash, it will add a suffix to it, ensure the folder still can be recognise, yet smoothly move into trash folder.

In Thunderbird, it does not do that, I try to change the name of the folder, but usually, got a can not change folder name type alert.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a 2 folder in Inbox, 
2. In each folder, create another subfolder with the same name
3. delete the 2 subfolder with the same name.
Actual Results:  
An alert
"A folder with that name already exist, please enter a different name"

Expected Results:  
The folder is successfully moved into the mail box. automatically rename, or if it can be done, tag the delete folder with a delete time stamp, that way, no 2 folder can possibly have the same name.
