Version: (using KDE 4.4.1) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages When creating a new folder and using a slash in the folder's name, Kontact gives the following error message: "Folder names cannot contain the / (slash) character; please choose another folder name." When renaming a folder via its properties and using a slash in the name, nothing happens at all. The folder is not renamed and the error message above is not shown. It would be better if the error message above would also be shown when renaming a folder. It would be even *MUCH* better when this internal restriction (no slashes in folder names) would not be presented to the user at all but the (restriction free) user visible folder name would be internally mapped to a folder name that adheres to all internal restrictions.

I just tested with KDE-4.6 and the issue is still there, just slightly different: When creating a new folder and using a slash in the folder's name, Kontact gives the error message, when renaming a folder via its properties and using a slash in the name, the slash is silently discarded. This is inconsistent and confusing. The behaviour should be the same with both actions, either show a warning message in both cases or remove this internal restriction.

I can't add new i18n in 4.7 so I add this messagebox in 4.8 to signal that we can't add a name with "/". And I don't want to add new kmessagebox when we rename it => I add a visual effect 'red color when name is bad' It's enough I think.
