211779 - old mail lost when upgrading to new debug candidate

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

On another machine, I lost all my mail upgrading from the last mailer to the
current browser (which is over two week old).  There doesn't seem to be a way to
export and import mail other than saving the files and doing the outlook "fake
it into thinking the data files are it's original files" thing (which I don't
know how to do anyway).

Because of this, I'll likely not use mozilla and the mailer since the point was
to use the same browser/mailer on the PC and Linux (where I have several of each
in several locations)...

what were you upgrading from?  an earlier version of Mozilla?

Reporter, can you elaborate a bit more?  Where were the mail files stored? What
sequence did you follow to uninstall the old client and install the new one?

Thanks
