Comment on attachment 609152 proof of concept patch thx for the patch - I think we really want to do this, but there are issues with the patch.
I don't like the rename of the src folder before the move - that might fail as well, if the name exists in the source folder's directory. I'd prefer to move to the right name initially. And I don't think CopyFolderLocal is the right place for this either - I suspect it wants to be at a higher level, though I'd need to poke around to find the right place. I'd also like to fix this for imap, which has the same issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/214366 Title: Can't delete a folder if Trash already contains a folder of the same name Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News: In Progress Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird 1. Create a new folder, eg. "Temp" 2. Delete it, OK 3. Create the same folder again 4. Delete it, OK I expect it to be moved to my Trash folder, perhaps with a suffix appended (it being the second instance of that folder in the trash). Thunderbird popped up an error message. On an imap host: The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: Mailbox already exists. In the local folders: A folder with that name already exists. Please enter a different name (!) Workarounds: 1. Empty the trash 2. Rename the folder before deletion 3. Rename the folder already in the trash 4.
