307010 - Install wiped out account settings and Local Folders from previous install

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Michael Wigston]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040626 Firefox/0.9.1
Build Identifier: version 1.0.6 (20050716) on Windows XP

I had Thunderbird 0.7 previously installed. I then upgraded, installing 1.0.6
over the top of it. It appeared to: -
a) loose all knowledge of the previous accounts - these had to be re-entered and
subdirectory data email content copied from the old name (e.g. .../Mail/abc) to
the new name Thunderbird allocated (e.g. .../Mail/abc-1) 
b) totally wipe out the content of .../Mail/Local Folders 

Reproducible: Didn't try

Michael have you had any problems with upgrading with the latest releases (e.g. 2.0.0.12 -> 2.0.0.14)? Much has changed and been fixed since 1.0.6.

This report is against a very old version, and whilst we I believe there may be the odd report of this on newsgroups, I couldn't find any duplicates. I think due to the age of this report and lack of detail/response, I'm going to mark as invalid and we'll deal with any real issues with the latest versions (if there are any) in new bugs.
