Here how it works:
"mail.default_fcc" is the old (4.0x) path-style FCC, and will look something
like "/u/alecf/nsmail/Sent"
"mail.imap_sentmail_path" is the new (4.5+) IMAP-specific FCC, and is in the
form of a URI..it will look something like "imap://alecf@tintin/Sent"

mail.use_imap_sentmail is the boolean that tells whether or not to use the "new"
pref.

I assume we should be storing the new FCC in the identity, as a URI... so I
assume these three prefs should migrate together to become
mail.identity.<identityname>.fcc = "mailbox://alecf@tintin/Sent" or something
like that.

Seth said he wanted this, so here it comes.

I just checked in the last bit of this fix.

I'm going to test it tomorrow on windows and mac and make sure I covered all
cases before I mark this fixed.

Prefs appear to be migrating to identity okay like:
user_pref("mail.identity.id1.fcc", true)
user_pref("mail.identity.id1.fcc_folder", "imap://llarue@nsmail-1/foofolder")
user_pref("mail.identity.id1.fcc_folder", "mailbox://nobody@Local Mail/Sent")
user_pref("mail.identity.id1.draft_folder", "imap://llarue@nsmail-1/Drafts")
User_pref("mail.identity.id1.stationary_folder",
"imap://llarue@nsmail-1/Templates")

These seem to be okay for basic instances I tried with mail and news, local and
imap.

Any other issues with these will be logged separately.
