273124 - migration from mozilla fails, creates accounts without folders

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Migration, defect)

Description

[Lior David]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10

After installing thunderbird 1.0rc1 (same for 0.8, 0.9) running first time I get
the import window and choose from mozilla 1.x. It works for about a minute and
seems to succeed and the finish button is shown. After pressing finish it opens
the thunderbird window with all the accounts I had in mozilla 1.x (4 accounts)
but without any folders, and of course without any messages. It seems to import
the account settings and address book correctly.
I am using mozilla 1.8a4 for mail. The size of the mail directory is about 540MB
and it looks like thunderbird creates roughly the same amount of data. I thought
it was disk space but I freed more than 1GB of space before importing and it
didn't help. Let me know if you need any additional information. This bug blocks
me from switching to thunderbird.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install thunderbird 1.0rc1
2. run, import from mozilla 1.x
3. after it finishes, see the thunderbird window

Actual Results:  
the accounts from mozilla 1.x appeared without any folders.

Expected Results:  
it should have shown the folders and messages inside them.

I'm not sure it's the same bug. I checked the prefs.js in the thunderbird
directory. The user prefs that point to directories
(mail.server.server<n>.directory) seem to point to correct directories. The
directory name is long and contains spaces, maybe this is a problem? but a
profile directory of c:\documents and settings\... is quite common.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that

(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
