Carrying forward Kent's r-.

This actually works fine for a local folder, but it doesn't work for IMAP. If you rename folder "Tests" to "tests" you end up with two versions in the UI. In the subscribe dialogue you only get "tests" and there's also only one "tests.msf" file. After a restart, the "Tests" folder is gone. So the solution can't be far off. Of course it's missing the maildir part which shouldn't be hard to add.

Since this is one of the TB "papercuts" (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird/Papercuts), maybe we can look at this bug one day soon now.

Since Ben is already working a bit on fixing some maildir issues and touching the relevant files, maybe he'd be a good candidate. Or maybe not since this would need Windows to test? Just take it as a suggestions since I can't allocate resources.
