12718 - [feature] POP3: Pref migration copies pop files to wrong location

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Profile Migration, defect, P3)

Description

[pmock]

Build Date & Platform Bug Found:
 Win32 seamonkey build 1999-08-27-12-m10 installed on Gateway P166 Win98

Overview Description:
 The profile migration is copying pop mail files to the wrong directory
location.  It copies the pop files to your \user50\profile\mail.  The prefs.js
path points to \user50\profile\mail\server_name.

Work around: I can manually move the pop folders or edit my prefs.js file to
point to the correct location.

Steps to Reproduce:
0) I set up a Communicator profile for POP3 mail
   My Inbox has a few messages.
1) Open a dos windows
2) Change directory to your \seamonkey\commercial_build\x86rel
3) type "apprunner -installer"
   The profile wizard appears
4) Type in a profile name or choose the default then continue
   Apprunner windows opens
5) Quit apprunner
6) type "apprunner -installer" again
   The profile manager window appear
7) Select you Communicator profile you wish to migrate
8) Click on the migrate button
   Apprunner launches
9) Open Messenger
10) Click on the "+" next to the pop3 server
    The list of local pop folders appears
    Notice that these folder contain no messages.
    They message count is "???".
11) Select the Inbox
    Notice the folder is empty
12) Using Windows Explorer, look where are you 'copied/migrated' pop mail folder
are located compared where the directory path in the prefs.js file states. They
are different.

Actual Results:
 It copies the pop3 mail files to \users50\profile\mail but the migrated
prefs.js file points to \users50\profile\mail\server_name.

Expected Results:
 The copied pop mail files and prefs.js user pref
"mail.server.server1.directory" should match locations.

Additional Builds and Platforms Tested On:
 The parameter "apprunner -installer" does not currently work in Linux seamonkey
build 1999-08-27-05-m10.  I have not tried MacOS build yet.

Additional Information:
 It correctly migrates the news files.

fyi
  The "apprunner -installer" does not work on MacOS seamonkey build
1999-08-27-12-m10.  It fails to migrate/copy the mail and news files.

dbragg. here's what we need to do:

In 4.x, you could only have POP or IMAP.  (not both).

so check the prefs:
if "mail.server_type" is 0, it means POP.  1 = IMAP.

0 was the default.

here's the logic:

if "mail.server_type" == 0 then
	pophostname = GetPref("network.hosts.pop_server")
	copy 4.x "mail" directory to user50\profile\mail\<pophostname>
else if "mail.server_type" == 1 then
	copy 4.x "mail" directory to ???  // not sure yet.  see my email)
else
	// UNIX supported "mail.server_type" other types, but don't worry about
	// them.  we don't support them yet in 5.0
endif

user_pref("network.hosts.pop_server", "tintin.mcom.com");
user_pref("mail.server_type", 1);		// imap, default is 0, pop3

I've sent email about how to migrate "Local Mail" in the IMAP case.

I think this needs to be fixed for PR1, so I added a note to the Status
Whiteboard.

Fixed.  I now get the server name and create a new directory based on it.
