Brian told me on linux he recently started seeing all of the profile migrators
getting listed in the migration wizard. I just saw the same thing in OSX.

this is definetly a recent regression. An older debug migration build I have
laying around on OS X works correctly.

Even when MailNews is not set up by Mozilla, the choice of "Netscape6,7 or
Mozilla1.x" is displayed on a Migration window.
In this case, since there is no data which should Migration, a Migration window
considers that it is better not to display.

Mac OS X 10.3.5
version 0.7+ (20040818)

Has this regressed?  Or is the current status something specific to Eudora?  Eudora is a choice on Thunderbird 1.5 Mac, and it doesn't work.  (It does absolutely nothing when you pick it).  According to bug 255065, this is because migration from the Mac version of Eudora has never been implemented.

Scott: I noticed when testing the Thunderbird 2 release candidate that the "Import" menu does show Eudora.  Is that something we want?

Comment 6

[Scott MacGregor]

Hmm, the patch explicitly inludes eudora for the Mac but Dave is right, we never implemented migration for eudora on the mac. I think we should remove it from the ifdef. File a new bug?
