14364 - [MIGRATION][FILTERS] 4.x filters "actionValues" need to be migrated to work in 5.0

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Profile Migration, defect, P1)

Description

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

in 5.0, we migrate your 4.x filter file over by copying it.

in the filter file (rules.dat on all platforms) we may have action values like:
actionValue="Trash"

in 4.x, this would mean the Trash folder on your "Local Mail".

in 5.0, this should me the Trash folder for your pop server, if you used pop in
4.x, or the Trash folder for your "Local Mail" if you used imap in 5.0

we have to "fix" the file, after we copy (and rename it for linux and mac),
because in 5.0, you can have multiple "Local Mail" servers.

yes, I fixed this as part of getting move to local folders to work.

OK.  We do change POP for a Move to Folder/Trash.  We leave the folder actions
as is for migrating IMAP which has any Move to Folder/trash filters, whether the
imap 4.x profile specified local mail Trash folder or the online Trash folder.

This seems correct to me, although reading Seth's original comments confuse me a
bit ..

OK using jun13 m17 commercial build.
