27542 - [PP]migrating on linux doesn't set ".directory" prefs to the right place

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect, P3)

Description

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

if you migrate on linux, and then you run 5.0, you'll notice something like
this:

/home/sspitzer/.mozilla/sspitzer/News/host-news.mozilla.org
/home/sspitzer/.mozilla/sspitzer/News/host-poisonivy
/home/sspitzer/.mozilla/sspitzer/News/server4
/home/sspitzer/.mozilla/sspitzer/News/server5

in the host-* directories are the hostinfo.dat files
but the 5.0 .msf files are getting dumped into the server* directories

I found the problem, and checked in the fix.

now, when you migrate, the "mail.server.server<n>.directory" pref gets set to
the right thing.

this will be important once we start supporting the hostinfo.dat files

if I didn't fix this, and a user migrated, they'd be lost.
