User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr; rv:1.8.1.10) Gecko/20071128 Ubuntu/8.04 (hardy) Firefox/2.0.0.10
Build Identifier: 2.0.0.0

After upgrading from Linux Ubuntu Feisty to Linux Ubuntu Gutsy the content of one folder and all its subfolders disappeared in thunderbird. The problem was that the folder had a "." in its name. The name was "Open Source Inc." so originally I had two files:
Open Source Inc.
Open Source Inc..msf
And one folder:
Open Source Inc..sbd

After the upgrade two new files were created:
Open Source Incc6bfcd54
Open Source Incc6bfcd54.msf


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a folder named Open Source Inc. on Thunderbird 1.5
2. Upgrade to Thunderbird 2.0
Actual Results:  
The folder disappears from Thunderbird

Expected Results:  
The folder should stay in Thunderbird
