Description

[Douglas Nusbaum]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

When I installed this versoin of Mozilla, 1.2.1 it failed to find the existing
mail information.  It did show evidence of an existing account.  When I went to
start Mozilla the program asked if I wanted to use the existing account, and
when I said yes, it said it was from Netscape 6 and coule have to copy & change
the format to make Mozilla happy.  I said OK and pressed next at which time
NOTHING happened.  I finally manually copied my old Mail directories over into
the place where Mozilla mail was looking for my stuff in a NEW account that I
created.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install the new browser
2.Start the new broswer - 
3.

Actual Results:  
NOthing - I have the mail working now.

Expected Results:  
When the new version is installed, Mozilla should be smart enough to find all
the old mail and news information and just start up with the existing configuration.
