> After a server-side-successful RENAME, renameTo() refreshed the folder
> status using the old mailbox name; servers rightly answer that with NO
> (the mailbox no longer exists), and the swallowed exception made
> renameTo() return false. Callers acting on that result (like the
> Jakarta Mail TCK, which renames the test mailbox back only when
> renameTo() reports success) ended up desynchronized from the server -
> in the TCK this cascaded into ~90 subsequent test failures.
