Cannot put email into folder with a name that has diacritics

I created a folder with a name that has diacritics used in the Lithuanian language: Šarūnas

Thunderbird will not let me move emails from another folder into this folder. This fails both with drag and drop and with using the right-click menu.

When I created a folder without diacritics (Sarunas) the emails can be moved into the folder.

Letters with diacritics are an essential part of spelling and not having them can significantly change the meaning of the words. What do I need to do in order to use folder names with diacritics?

Thank you for the suggestion. However, the problem at the link appears to be unrelated. I can have and read emails with diacritics in other folders, but, although the folder with the name with diacritics can be created, it does not seem to be usable -- I cannot put emails into it.
