Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.2) Gecko/20040308
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.2) Gecko/20040308

After a succssful installation of Thunderbird 0.9 (fresh donwload) on a Red Hat
Linux 9 system, the auto import appered to succeed.  After further inspection,
mail folders were duplicated on email accounts with the same domain.  For example:
one@example.com , two@example.com and three@example.com were set up as separate
account in Mozilla Mail 1.4.2.  When these were imported to Thunderbird, folders
from 1, 2, and 3 @examples.com were merged togethers and displayed in the same
email account.  At teh same time, no email could be found in the "Inbox" for any
account.

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create 2-3 email accounts in mozilla mail that reside under the same domain. 
2. Create unique folders under each email account.
3. Install Thunderbird and import email.

Actual Results:  
This is not a test system, but what I experienced.  I can further describe my
set-up and provide screen shots if that would help.

$ rpm -q mozilla-mail
mozilla-mail-1.4.2-0.9.0


Initial set-up in email from Mozilla:
one@example.com - pop
two@example.com - pop
three@example.com - pop
four@example.com - pop
info@anotherdomain.com - pop
job@myjob.com - imap

Installed T-bird, imported...

the accounts remained separate, but folders were all merged in the accounts that
shared a domain.  My system is still in this state.

Expected Results:  
Maintained the folder integrity for each account that shared a domain (and that
did not share a domain - which it seemed to do correctly). Also, it should have
maintained the Inbox integrity for each account.

None that I can think of at this time.
