151120 - Bad conversion in folder with many mails from NS 4.x

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(MailNews Core :: Import, defect)

Description

[Ing. Pavel PaJaSoft Janousek]

Yesterday I convert my profile from NetScape Communicator 4.77 (I use this and
older version as UA for mail for 4 years). When Mozilla imports my mail folders,
all been right, but one folder, which has 18.694 very similar mails (size is
20.587.741B) before conversion has only 1.081 mails after conversion. I have a
backup of this folder, so I can sent it. Other conversion(s) were correctly.

Pavel: Target Milestone is for bug-owner and his indication, when bug could be
fixed. Futhermore, M1 is out.

No, I use this when I moved from NS 4.7X to Mozilla... never more...:-)

Converting from Outlook Express to Thunderbird 0.9 - Lists were not carried over
- have had to re-build.
Following conversion:
Thunderbird does not handle two separate individuals with same e-mail address
properly - both are given same Display name.
Cannot place both individuals (with same e-mail address) in the same list.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
