If you get this error, your IMAP annotations database is broken. The 
annotations are being used by the client (Toltec, Kontact) to store the 
folder type (email, contact, calendar etc.). It is not 100% certain what 
causes the annotations.db to break, but most likely the problem is caused by 
memory errors (see https://intevation.de/roundup/kolab/msg5415 and 
http://asg.web.cmu.edu/archive/message.php?mailbox=archive.cyrus-devel&msg=1009 
for details). There is no error message returned to the client in that case, 
but most likely, the annotations set by the clients are simply lost.

I cannot verify this at the moment but I suppose this causes serious 
irritations to Toltec which results in the strange renaming. Maybe Joon 
Radley can explain what is going on there and maybe add some code in Toltec 
which prevents problems on broken servers in the future?!
