251981 - Import fails with non-alphanumeric named folders

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 131013

(MailNews Core :: Import, defect)

Description

[Chris Glass]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a2) Gecko/20040714
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a2) Gecko/20040714

When importing a folder of emails from Outlook Express to Mozilla, if the file
has a / in it, all the logic breaks down. The progress bar finishes, but the top
window goes blank.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go into outlook and create a new folder. I used "ebay / Paypal"
2. Import it into Mozilla using the import feature
3. Watch it freak out and not finish
4. Hit cancel, exit Mozilla.
5. Reopen and delete the import folder for good measure
6. Go into Outlook express, rename the folder to remove the "/", I used "ebay
and paypal"
7. Import and watch it work perfectly

Actual Results:  
It imports all the folders but that one, and tries to divide it. Deleting the
folder doesn't work until Mozilla is closed and the import is aborted.

Expected Results:  
Imported every folder without issue and when the progress bar completed, it
displays a list of the folders and mail counts.
