Hello everybody,

Maybe you are aware of this:

I have experienced the following
"strange" behavior (PC Pine 4.53).

I created an folder "xy" in the Incoming-Folders, then created a simple
filter rule which moves messages from a certain person to this folder ->
this works ok, but:

I renamed the folder "xy" to "ab" and looked at the Filter rule
whether it updated the referenced folder name from "xy" to "ab" - it did
not!

However, the rule still works, the corresponding messages are moved to the
renamed folder as before, despite of the confusing data in the Filter
definition.

Moreover, when I tried to specify the correct name of the folder in the
Filter rule definition (by ^T for example), the pine refused to update the
value to the correct name "ab" (there was still "xy").

What do you think?

>value to the correct name "ab" (there was still "xy").

Sounds like a bug that it won't let you update the name, but
(wild guess time -- aka possible foot in mouth time) I'm guessing that
the mail server actually has some kind of ID/number assigned to each
folder, and the name is just a human-accessible thing.

So presumably pine is actually using the number, which didn't change,
so it still works.
