185464 - Mail folders from Netscape 4.76 are not readable (for alot of cases).

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Vern Huber]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.76 [en] (Windows NT 5.0; U)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

Upgrading to Mozilla 1.2.1 (same problem exist in 1.1), I discovered that even 
though all of my existing Netscape 4.76 mail folders were present, the contents 
were missing.  This was not 100%, some folder content was OK - but nearly 1/2 is 
not.

If I bring up Netscape 4.76 I can still access the folders OK, but Mozilla 
can't.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create several mail folders using Netscape 4.76 and populate them.
2. Install Mozilla 1.1 (or higher)
3. Some folders will have their content missing (there but Mozilla cannot read 
it).

Actual Results:  
Some folders will have their content missing (there but Mozilla cannot read it).

I point Mozilla to the location that Netscape 4.76 is looking.

-> invalid

Mozilla doesnÄt use the sme mail summary files for the index.
If you change something in NS4.7x it will get outz-of-synch.


This is not supported and you must import the mail if you want it working

After doing the import, alot/most of my folders still have their contects 
missing.  How is this resolved?  (Doing a search for SNM and import yields
no hits.
