292712 - IMAP path not imported from Outlook Express

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Migration, defect)

Description

[bugz]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: version 1.0.2 (20050317)

Using the Import feature of Thunderbird to import 2 mail accounts from Outlook 
Express, both IMAP. One account had the correct IMAP Server Directory, but the 
other was blank.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In Outlook Express on Windows XP, connect to 2 IMAP servers with a 
specified IMAP Root Folder path ('mail' is the most common on Linux server 
platforms). Sync the accounts with the servers and close Outlook Express
2. Install Thunderbird. Use the Import From Outlook Express feature, following 
prompts.
3. Look in the Account Settings for each IMAP account. In Server Settings, 
Advanced, check that both accounts have a path in IMAP Server Directory 
(i.e. 'mail')

Actual Results:  
One account had a path of 'mail', but the other did not, even though both have 
this path in the original Outlook Express profile which was imported from.

Expected Results:  
Both accounts should have had 'mail' in the IMAP Server Directory field
