Carrying forward Kent's r-.

This actually works fine for a local folder, but it doesn't work for
IMAP. If you rename folder "Tests" to "tests" you end up with two
versions in the UI. In the subscribe dialogue you only get "tests" and
there's also only one "tests.msf" file. After a restart, the "Tests"
folder is gone. So the solution can't be far off. Of course it's missing
the maildir part which shouldn't be hard to add.

Since this is one of the TB "papercuts"
(https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird/Papercuts), maybe we can look at
this bug one day soon now.

Since Ben is already working a bit on fixing some maildir issues and
touching the relevant files, maybe he'd be a good candidate. Or maybe
not since this would need Windows to test? Just take it as a suggestions
since I can't allocate resources.

Title:
  Renaming folder to same name but different case not allowed

Status in Mozilla Thunderbird:
  Confirmed
Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird

  In 1.5.0.10, renaming the folder "foo" to "foO", "fOo" or "Foo" isn't
  allowed; the OK button isn't clickable upon typing the new name.
  However, this can be worked around by renaming the folder "foo" to
  "bar" first, and then renaming "bar" to "foO".
