269149 - Addresses from Netscape Messenger 4.76 that have been changed does not import into lists

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[Heine Svendsen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)
Build Identifier: version 0.9 (20041103)

If an email address has been changed, the old address will be used in the 
exported address book file in the section for the lists, while the new address 
will be used in the section for the cards together with the old address.
When importing such addresses into Thunderbird, addresses that have been 
changed during the course of time will not be copied into the appropiate lists.

Here is an exsample of a card in an ldif file exported:

dn: cn=Aleksandar Mihajlovic,mail=[e-mail]
modifytimestamp: 20040924130106Z
cn: Aleksandar Mihajlovic
mail: [e-mail]
xmozillausehtmlmail: TRUE
givenname: Aleksandar Philnell
sn: Mihajlovic
objectclass: top
objectclass: person

And here is the same person further down in the ldif file where you find the 
specific lists:

member: cn=Aleksandar Mihajlovic,mail=[e-mail]

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change an email addres for a person thats in a list i Netscape Messenger 
4.76 (or higher?)
2. Export as ldif.
3. Import into Firebird.

Actual Results:  
4. Person is not in the appropiate list anymore.


Expected Results:  
If possible take old email-addresse into account - maybe not possible, maybe a 
Netscape problem.
