| If you open a folder with a relative path, use the cd command to change the 
current working directory, then any action that needs to update the opened 
folder (as opposed to the temporary MBOX; e.g., switching to a different 
folder) will fail and claim that the opened folder is not accessible.

again to be able to continue.

i.e., concurrent deletion of the current folder etc. still bails, but for this 
particular aspect the solution is easy.

I think it is better to canonicalize the name when the name is set? No?
