119579 - add nsIMsgIncomingServer::GetRootMsgFolder

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect)

Description

[David :Bienvenu]

a lot of code calls nsIMsgIncomingServer::GetRootFolderto get an nsIFolder, and
then QI's it to get an nsIMsgFolder. With all the error checking, this amounts
to four or so extra lines of code per instance, so we can save hundreds of lines
of code by adding this method.

this contains diffs outside the imap directory, which I'm still working on.

this is looking good.  hopefully finding and fixing all the C++ and the JS will 
not be too painful.

Is it safe to verify this bug through LXR, or are there some codepaths down the
road needing to implement this before I can verify the API works?

Like Campbells' Chunky Soup, 'It's in there' tm.
