264364 - Importing IMAP account (WITH SSL ENABLED) fails from Mozilla 1.6

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Migration, defect)

Description

[Scott Copus]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

Upon installing this latest version of Thunderbird (1.0 Preview Release), I had
Mozilla 1.6 installed.  I had an IMAP account with "secure connection" (SSL) set
in with Mozilla.  Upon installing Thunderbird, the import "wizard" came up and I
chose to import my mail accounts from Mozilla.

After starting Thunderbird, it was taking too long to check e-mail and I went to
check the settings.  Here is where I seen the problem.  The import process got
the port number correct (993 for SSL), but the actual option "Use secure
connection (SSL)" was NOT checked.  After checking it, I was able to connect to
my IMAP account.
