Version details: 2.3.7
Distribution/Version: SuSE 9.3

Try to create a subfolder with the name Mailbox, Sent Items, etc. Evolution
pops-up an error message saying "Error while creating folder test/Mailbox" where
test is the name of the parent folder and Mailbox is the name of the folder to
be created. Now try to create a folder with any other random name like xyz, abc,
etc. Now try to rename the folder to Mailbox. Evolution successfully renames the
folder to Mailbox but fails to create a new folder with that name.

I presume this is only with GW or Exchange? Doesn't seem to be an issue for IMAP
or local

sounds like a bug in groupwise, comparing 'special names' against the name and
not the full_name.
