Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evolution

Ubuntu 7.10, fully up to date, evolution 2.12.0-0ubuntu5
I tried to create a search folder name "/." and it messed up the virtual 
folders a bit.
It created an empty search-folder with a sub-folder called ".".

I renamed and moved the folder ".", then renamed and tried to delete the
nameless folder (I was just going to delete it, but it offered to
"delete search folder "" and all its subfolders", which didn't seem too
safe so I thought I better rename it first).

A this point a search folder called "home" with a sub-folders "thomas" and 
".evolution","mail" and "vfolder"
I didn't want to delete these (just in case :-) so I exited evolution and 
deleted the .cmeta files manually.

I tried again, same behaviour.

I'm guessing it didn't escape the "/", nor pre-pend the path of the file
to be created and somehow tried to turn anything it could find into a
search-folder.

might be related to bug #140949 ?
