Description Pierre Fortin 2011-09-21 15:26:57 UTC 
Created a folder, renamed it and deleted it.
~/.claws-mail/tagsdb/<new_folder> gets created, then renamed; but when the folder is deleted, tagsdb does not reflect the deletion.

After more testing, the problem is more correctly stated as:

Test case #1:
create a new folder
rename it
delete it
no entry in tagsdb

Test case #2:
create a new folder
rename it
restart CM
tagsdb contains renamed folder

Test case #2:
create a new folder
restart CM
rename it
restart CM
tagsdb contains BOTH created-folder and renamed-folder

Anytime a folder is deleted, CM does not delete the tagsdb entry thereby allowing it to become more polluted over time.
