Steps to reproduce:

Move or copy message from an imap folder to a Local Folder, both folders in maildir format.

Actual results:

Messages were moved successfully, but the messages in the Local Folder are mangled according to the old mboxo format:
Message lines starting with "From " are converted to ">From ".

Expected results:

Messages in maildir format should not be treated like mboxo.

Component: Untriaged → Backend
Product: Thunderbird → MailNews Core
Summary: move/copy message from imap:maildir to Local Folders mangles "From " lines → move/copy message from imap:maildir to Local Folders (in maildir format) converts From to >From

This still exists in 102.11.0 (64-bit) as tested just now with a new profile.

The "mbox" format is not any of the normal mbox subformats, and the "Maildir" is not standard Maildir.

Both formats corrupt messages with "From " lines in the DATA.

apologies. Looks like it is normal mboxo format. I was misreading a long line of spaces that wrapped as a blank line
