Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

Evolution shows some strange behavior, if special characters are used within folder names. I discovered that, by loading an existing folder structure (created with Outlook) into evolution.

I tested following folder names:

Folder name: "Test / Subtest"
Behavior: Evolution shows one folder called "Test" and another folder inside the
                 folder "Test", which is named "Test / Subtest".
                 Clicking on folder "Test" creates an error saying, that this folder does not exist
                 Clicking on folder "Test / Subtest" shows the emails.
Add. info: Its not possible to create the folder "Test / Subtest" in Evolution. The folder must already been created
                 previously and must be imported by Evolution from an Exchange server
