Account migration happens in the default user profile path, which may not always
be possible.
For example, I have 4 Gbytes of Netscape 4.79 messages on D:, and only 400Mbytes
of free disk space on C:
I can't migrate easily all these messages because I can't choose to have them
migrated to D:\some folder 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:




Expected Results:  
Prompt for selecting (and creating) the target folder

Prevents me to migrate some accounts on Mozilla: still using Netscape 4.79
