I was looking around the folders code and discovered a minor bug. If you create a folder with a dot in it (like test.box) RC will display a folder called test with a box sub-folder. That is all as it should be. The problem is that it allows you to drag and drop messages into the phantom folder and displays it as if it were a real folder. When you drag into the folder the message appears to go away, and of course doesn't appear in the phantom folder. When you refresh the folder that you dragged the message from the message reappears (which is good - at least it isn't lost forever). What should happen is that the phantom folder should be greyed out, and undraggable (and probably unselectable).
Is there a reason for these phantom folders to exist?
Yes, for example as container for subfolders. In file based IMAP servers, this is a physical folder holding mailbox files listed as subfolders. Because of being a folder and not a file, the IMAP server cannot write messages to it but unfortunately it is listed.
