730449 - folder creation on imap account fails silently of name contains illegal characters

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Networking: IMAP, defect)

Description

[Johannes Linke]

to reproduce: create a folder in an IMAP account with a name containing & or + or other special characters.

result: nothing happens.

expected: the "new folder"-dialog should forbid entering such characters, accompanied by some warning.

Can you log the IMAP session and report it here? https://wiki.mozilla.org/MailNews:Logging

this is what gets logged when creating the unallowed folder. not including the rest of the log because i have no idea what gets logged :)

This doesn't seem to be a general problem, WFM in Daily.
