I just got the following error message:

/home/charles/.claws-mail/vcalendar/.tmp: rename: Not a directory

** (claws-mail:24085): WARNING **: failed to write event.

/home/charles/.claws-mail/vcalendar/.tmp: rename: Not a directory

** (claws-mail:24085): WARNING **: failed to write event.

I then created .tmp as a directory (the rest already existed), and
claws-mail crashed. I got:

/home/charles/.claws-mail/vcalendar/.tmp: fopen: Is a directory
/home/charles/.claws-mail/vcalendar/.tmp: fopen: Is a directory
��D/.tmp: fopen: No such file or directory
��D/.tmp: rename: Not a directory

** (claws-mail:394): WARNING **: failed to write event.

I then removed the directory and did a "touch" on the file name. I
still get the error message. The file no longer exists.

Known bug??
