Title:
Renaming folder to same name but different case not al
I did a bit of debugging. folderPane.js:2605, folder.rename(aName, msgWindow);,
calls nsImapMailFolder::Rename() which calls nsImapService::RenameLeaf() and
that opens this URL via GetImapConnectionAndLoadUrl():
"imap://u...@mail.com@server:143/rename>.INBOX.TestMessages>.INBOX.testMessages"

Here are my notes - mostly a braindump for my own reference:
Local Folders
nsMsgLocalMailFolder::Rename() performs these steps:
1) calls nsIMsgPluggableStore::RenameFolder() to rename the raw filesystem

Postbox would be willing to sponsor the development of this fix if
anyone would like to work on this.
Requirements:
* Cannot be structured as an add-on (as those are no longer supported in
Postbox)
* Cannot rely on changes or APIs made after 52.8 (as Postbox is currently based
on this version)
I'd think that is would even be the final solution, not a workaround. We
can never know what filesystem we are really on (even if we knew, we do
not know all the limit or all exotic systems).
We must just try it. On any system, if we detect the new name only
changes in case, do the renaming dance

Folder to be renamed should be excluded from existing folder list when

Testing on Windows 7, this patch does not work. When I rename folder
