          Priority: NOR

           Summary: KMail gets confused after a maildir local folder is
                    renamed
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: mmtsales at gmail.com
          Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: commands and actions
           Product: kmail2

After renaming a maildir local folder, every time it or anything inside it
(messages or subfolders) is clicked, a message like the following appearas in
the systray notification area:
"Local folders: The Maildir
'/home/username/.local/share/local-mail/.inbox.directory/teste in the
collection 'test' is invalid."

In this case, a folder named "teste" was renamed to "test".
The message is translated from portuguese, so it may not be exactly that in
english. Please see the attached screenshot.

To solve this, I have to rename the problematic folder temporarily to any other
name, create another folder with the name I want, move the contents from the
problematic folder to this new one I have just created and then remove the old
folder.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a local maildir folder
2. Rename the folder you have just created
3. Click on another folder and then go back to the folder you have created
Actual Results:  
Error messages like the one mentioned in the bug description pop up in the
notification area. One message pops up for each item stored in the renamed
folder.

Expected Results:  
No error message should be issued when the rename folder is accessed.
