49228 - Upgrading from 4.x IMAP filter with '&' folder name in name does not work

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect, P3)

Description

I have an IMAP folder called "Components & Tools" (no quotes) which works fine in 
4.x. Mozilla shows it correctly, but throws errors about 'the mailbox does not 
exist' when filters attempt to move mail to that folder.

This bug must log regrading to IMAP "filter" problem since I have no problem for 
creating the folder name with '&'.

I have created 'component&tools' & 'family & relative' both folders, they both 
work fine.

Simon any chance you can generate an imap log file when you get some mail that
gets filtered to this folder?

The nspr_log_modules name is IMAP:5....

New filter created in 6.0 for IMAP filter to IMAP folder "This & That" works. 
Fails on migrated filter.

The filter I created in 6.0 shows the folder name as "This &- That" whereas the
migrated filter shows "This & That".

My IMAP filters were copied by hand from 4.x

Comment 5

[David :Bienvenu]

sigh. some uri or utf8 escaping problem.

Comment 6

[David :Bienvenu]

copying by hand shouldn't matter - profile migration doesn't upgrade filters - 
loading/running them for the first time upgrades them. There was some bizarre 
case where it mattered, but I doubt this is one of them.

[scottputterman]

marking nsbeta1+ and moving to mozilla0.8

Comment 11

[scottputterman]

moving to mozilla0.9

Comment 12

[David :Bienvenu]

The fix is probably to change the code that upgrades old filters,
nsMsgFilter::ConvertMoveToFolderValue, to convert the target filter value to
modified utf7 before calling FindSubFolder.

Navin's been working in this area - he might have already fixed this, actually.

Comment 16

[Navin Gupta]

This should have been fixed as a result of fixing bug 62437

OK using oct3 commerical 0.9.4. branch build: Mac OS 9.1, linux rh6.2, win98.
Since underlying bug was verified on both trunk and branch, I'm going to mark
this one verified.
