[Bug 214366] [NEW] Can't delete a folder if Trash already contains a folder of the same name

[Douglas Royds]

Public bug reported:

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. Delete (permanently) the folder that is already in the trash

Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy
thunderbird 2.0.0.12+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.7.10.0
