On Launchpad: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunar/+question/674670

Steps to reproduce:

- Export a reply to an email using e.g. Thunderbird. Use the default filename e.g. "Re: A quick message.eml"
- Attempt to move this file to an SMB share using Thunar (file manager)

What happened:
- Error message "No such file or directory, do you want to skip it?" appears.

What I expected to happen:
- Operation to succeed, or an error message explaining that colons are not allowed in filenames on SMB shares.

Thanks for reporting.

I dont have a smb share @home, so I cannot test. However maybe I can take a try at work sooner or later.

Sooo the actual problem is, that filenames with colon cannot be copied to SMB shares ? ( Does the thunderbird part here matter at all ? )

... actually I dont think that this is a thunar problem. E.. red this one:
