Aceman, given the high popularity of this bug, can't we use the workaround as
an interim fix when
renaming foo to Foo:
sourcefolder=foo
targetfolder=Foo
if (lcase(sourcefolder) == lcase(targetfolder)) {
- first rename foo to foo.tmp_random
- then rename foo.tmp_random to Foo }
Renaming folders doesn't happen every day, so taking a split second longer
doesn't matter.
That way, it'll work for all types of folders/OSs/POP/Imap no matter what
(except for those where the server doesn't allow renaming).
Then, we can spend the next decades looking for the real fix. Or maybe this is
the real fix, because even some servers don't accept changing capitalization
only, so we'd elegantly trick those.
The only scenario where this might fail are extra long nested folder names at
the limit, where we might fail to create the tmp target folder if the tmp path
gets too long or such.
