User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

imported 4.79 e-mail account.  Good Mozilla sucked in all the data.  Bad:  it
placed it in the new folder "Communicator 4.x Mail" vice dumping it right into
the folder.  So I had to drag every file from underneath 4.x and drop it into
the local folders.  The data always transfered, but did not always display. 
Since it did not display, I tried to drag it again and drop it into the local
folder.  The alert appeared saying that the file was already there, even though
I could not see it.  The only way to see the files was to exit out of Mozilla
completely and then enter it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  see above
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
see above

Expected Results:  
folders should immediately appear once they are put into the local folders.

Which didn't appear, the folder or the messages? Can you retest with Mozilla 1.6
or newer and let us know if this is still a problem? Thanks.

Palmer, Did you retest this with a more recent version yet? Did this solve the
problem?

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

I have not retested this as I have been using Mozilla for a long time and don't
have access to NETSCAPE 4.79.
