98883 - Problems when creating a folder which contains a comma.

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect)

Description

[Mathieu van der Wal]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010801
BuildID:    2001080110

When creating a folder which contains a comma, it actually creates two folders.
One folder has the original name you gave it, and the second folder has a code
which consists of letters and numbers.
The contents of both folders is identical, however when you delete the contents
of the original, and then try to view the contents of one of the two folders, it
gives a 80520012(unknown)-error.
Also, when you delete the original folder and restart mozilla, the codenamed
folder is gone, but the original folder is still there, I tried this more than
10 times, but it's still sitting there, giving me a 80520012 when I try to view
the contents of it.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a folder named 'test, test' (without the quotes)
2. Restart Mozilla
3. Compare the two new folders (put some message in it, delete some etc.)
4. Delete the folder 'test, test'
5. Empty trash
6. Restart mozilla

WORKSFORME with 2001-09-07-21 on Linux.

Mathieu, you are using a build with is more than one month old. Much changes in
Mozilla land during such a long period. Please try a more recent build and see
if this bug still occurs for you. A more recent build can be found at:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest-trunk/.

Mathieu, did you create a local folder or a remote folder on a IMAP server?

My comments above applied to creating a local folder.
