Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 92165

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect)

Description

[Sebastian Hengst [:aryx] (needinfo me if it's about an intermittent or backout)]

Thunderbird 3.0.6
not tested in 3.1.2
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b5pre) Gecko/20100820 Shredder/3.2a1pre

Unable to rename a folder to its own/same name, error that folder already exists (but name can be different because of case-sensitivity/uppercase/lowercase), i.e. "TEST" > "Test" also fails.

Looks like bug 427711, but that one is resolved fixed.

Same thing happens in safemode I supose ? Are these imap folders or local folders ?

Anything in Tools -> Error console ?

If these are imap folders can you generate an imap log ?

Nothing in the error console, basic profile (always cloned before testing, only dictionaries installed).

Local folder, no errors in console.

I've got this same issue on Windows 7 with Thunderbird 5.0.  Can't rename "FOLDEr" to "FOLDER" as it will throw a "folder with that name already exists" error.
