26690 - automatic transfer of addresses

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Profile Migration, defect, P3)

Description

[davy]

Why not make transfer of addresses from the old to the new Mail program
automatic?  Why are thsee letters GREY and almost too small to read?  I left out
the Component and when I returned my description and Summary were gone!  This is
NOT a more workable solution!

Hi.  Could you be so kind and be more specific about the problem you are
experiencing?  Which letters are you referring to?

The problem with form field contents being lost when going back in the browser
is a known problem.

You may want to have a look at http://www.mozilla.org/bugs/ for guidelines on
writing bugs.  Specifically: please state which version/build you are using, and
only one bug per report, please.

I'm guessing from the subject line that what you mean is: when migrating a
profile from NS 4.x to 5, the address books of the old profile should
automatically be migrated with the email accounts.  Reassigning to  dbragg.

Thank you Zach.  I'm not really sure how profile migration fits into this.  
[e-mail], please provide the information Zach mentioned and if you could, 
please describe the steps to reproduce it.

Accepting.

Profile manager has changed to make this more automatic. Please try this again 
and see if you are happy with the solution.
