183334 - migrating a 4.x addressbook results in an empty addressbook

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Address Book & Contacts, defect)

Description

[grylchan]

using commercial trunk 12/2 on XP

If you have a 4.x profile (I'm using 4.8) and you have
populated your addressbook, after migrating your profile
over to current trunk it will result in the addressbook
being empty. Zilch. nada. nothing.

I believe Ninoschka has already confirmed this on the other OS's.

steps to reproduce:
1.add some entries to the addressbook of a 4.x profile
2.quit 4.x
3.start profile mgr for trunk 
4.migrate that 4.x profile.
5.bring up the addressbook

result: empty
expected: to be filled with cards I created in 4.x

ps Importing a (.na2) file also failed.

isn't this invalid in bugzilla since mozilla can't import NS4.7x adressbooks ?
