249614 - Changes For the Import Modules to make them work with migration

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[Scott MacGregor]

In order to add a profile migrator for Outlook Express, I'm trying to leverage
the existing import tools. However, several changes need to be made to the
import tools to make them support migration (as opposed to importing).

Attachment: patch

1) When migrating POP3 accounts for OExpress, defaults to using Global Inbox
deferred store on Local folders.

2) When migrating folders, translates the default Outlook Express Local folder
names to their Mozilla counterparts

3) When migrating to local folders, don't migrate to a sub directory of Local
Folders (i.e. Local Folders - Outlook Express), put the folders directly at the
top if we are migrating.

Attachment: updated patch to better match the existing white space

Uses 4 space tabs instead of 2 space to better match the existing white space.
Although it still looks wrong in places. I can't make it match up in studio :)

updated patch to better match the existing white space

This patch modifies the existing import module code to handle the following
special migration cases:

1) Allow a consumer to pass in an RDF URI for an address book (i.e. the
personal AB) to migrate address book data too. This allows the OE migrator to
migrate address book data directly to a Personal Address book instead of to
"Outlook Express Address Book"

2) When migrating OE Pop3 servers, make them use the deferred account by
default (Local folder Global Inbox)

3) Add folder translation code to translate Outlook Express Local Folder names
into folder names Mozilla will recognize (like Deleted Items --> Trash)

4) If we are migrating local folders (as opposed to importing), migrate
directly into local folders and not as a sub folder of Local Folders.

there look to be tabs here:

+		 m_pDestinationUri = ToNewCString(tempUri);
