Bug#303138: kmail: Trying to use / character in folder names makes odd error message.
Package: kmail
Version: 4:3.3.2-2
Severity: normal
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Trying to create a folder with a slash ('/') character in it will produce
an error message "No such file or directory". This is terribly obscure
and confusing; my mom tried this and had no idea what had happened.
I recommend a less strange error message be produced when trying to use
filesystem-illegal characters in folder names.
