113157 - Cannot migrate mail folder from windows profile

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Profile Migration, defect)

Description

[Robert Pollak]

linux sea build 2001112913.

I created a new profile on linux and set up my mail account.
Then I copied my 'Inbox' file from my windows profile to the new profile's mail
account folder (replacing the empty Inbox file there).
I also deleted Inbox.msf s.t. the Inbox file is re-scanned.

Expected: After starting mozilla -mail I see the Inbox filled with the migrated
mails.

Observed: The Inbox stays empty. When I select 'File->Compact Folders' the file
size goes to zero.

(The windows profile was last used with a win2k build from 2001-11-26 iirc.)

Well, sorry - I just forgot to convert the line endings of the Inbox file from
CR/LF on Windows to LF on Linux.
With this, migration has worked fine.
