126389 - Mozilla doesn't use Netscape Mail folders

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 110672

(MailNews Core :: Localization, defect)

Description

[Thilo Straub]

Dear Mozilla team,


there is an important bug.

When installing Mozilla onto my system, Mozilla doesn't seem to check 
my configuration, if there's a Netscape 4.7x installed.
Instead, if I enter the Netscape directory, and enter the same 
account, the same provider, Mozilla puts its configuration into
the folder "documents and configurations" or "Dokumente and Einstellungen".

But I want the datas be saved in the directory C:\Online\Netscape\Mozilla 
or the mails in C:\Online\Netscape\users\mail\account_XY.
When I manually configure it in the mail-configuration, Mozilla seems to ignore
it, there's still a folder "Local Folders", which I don't want, I want the obove
and don't know how it can be changed or configured.


This bug is very important and should be so changed that seperate work is
not necessary.


What shall I/we do?


Greetings, Thilo.

Always add the build ID in a bug report.

Reporter:
Mozilla is not NS4.7x !
Mozilla can only convert a NS4.7x profile to a mozilla profile.
If you change the profile settings to use a NS4.7x profile you can get many
problems and this is unupported.

The remaining Problem: You can remove the local folders and that is bug 110672
