User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:28.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/28.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140314220517

Steps to reproduce:

1. Created multiple copies of subfolders in a folder. E.g. File ABC (Sub folder) under Files (Folder)

2. Copies of subfolder will end with suffix "4&5c32be133" e.g. File ABC 4&5c32be133

3. Tried deleting said folder, subfolder and copies of subfolders. 

4. Error message "A folder with that name already exists. Please enter a different name."

5. Unable to delete said subfolder and copies of subfolders.


Actual results:

Unable to delete said folder, subfolder and copies of subfolders. 



Expected results:

All folders should be deleted when I choose the delete option and the error message should not appear.
Is this a POP3 server?
What do you mean by "Copies of subfolder" ? When you try to delete such a folder is a folder with the same name already under Trash folder?
I can reproduce, but if there was a folder of same name in 'Deleted' folder, that folder must be removed from the 'Deleted' folder, then you can delete the folder.
Anje, what server type? POP3 or IMAP?
