If the 4.x used IMAP, they still had "Local Mail". The root was pointed to by the "mail.directory" pref when we migrate, we need to copy all the contents of that directory to "<profile dir>/Mail/Local Mail" I've checked in the code to handle the pref migration. this is only if the user was using IMAP in 4.x. If they were using POP....see bug #12718

On WinNT, the contents of the Mail\LocalMail folder are not being copied -so on Seamonkey you cannot see any LocalMail messages. The directory path ~\Users50\profiledir\Mail\LocalMail does exist - but empty. On Win98,95 directory is created and messages are copied but show with ??? in seamonkey

In 4.x, there shouldn't be a Users\profiledir\Mail\LocalMail directory. It should just be Users\profiledir\Mail it should be copying it to Users50\profiledir\Mail\Local Mail (note the space) I may have broken this on NT, so I'll take a look. (Note: I believe its working correctly on Linux.)

that's right, the 4.x path is as you describe and 5.0 path is correct as well, but the localmail directory is empty on NT only....strange.

marking fixed. this is working for me on linux and windows. something to note: as of 9-15, if you used imap in 4.x, when your "Local Mail" gets copied over, it does NOT get put into <Mail>/Local Mail now, it gets put into <Mail>/server[x] where [x] is an integer. if you want to know which server[x] directory maps to which server, look in your prefs.

note: when testing -installer over and over, make sure to: remove your mozilla registry AND remove the Users50 directory you will strange results if you migrate on top of a previous migration.

or, on unix, remove ~/.mozilla or move ~/.mozilla to the side.
