Hi!
I'm unable to open folders in the mail program. This does occur to some folders
of my original account, and all folders in newly created accounts and imported
Eudora Mail. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Mozilla Mail
2.Click on a folder ;-)
3.

Actual Results:  There's no reaction on single-click, with double-click, the
opening Window shows an empty folder.

Expected Results:  The folder should open and show my mail.

Choosing properties from the context menu shows 'arabic' character coding and
there's no reaction on pressing 'OK'.
New mail seems to be stored correctly, 'cause the 'Inbox'-File grows in size.

Marking these all WORKSFORME sorry about lack of response but were very
overloaded here. Only reopen the bug if you can reproduce with the following steps:

1) Download the latest nightly (or 0.9.6 which should be out RSN)
2) Create a new profile
3) test the bug again

If it still occurs go ahead and reopen the bug. Again sorry about no response
were quite overloaded here and understaffed.

WORKS FOR ME 

Windows 2000
./nightly/latest-1.0.0/
Build 2002041617

Reporter: This bug is over 10 months old, there isn't enough information here to
do anything worth debuging? This seems to be an exceptional case which I assume
had unusual install circumstances. 

Can someone (reporter?) mark this as fixed or Works For Me?

Maybe this issue is related to / dependent on importing Eudora mail folders.
Anyone who has Eudora, tried this out?

I no longer see a method in mozilla to import Eudora mail folders. (Try filing
an feature request, if this is true)
And the reporter has been asked to retest 5 months ago. Marking WORKSFORME
