315686 - migration code doesn't pick up the "Root folder path" on an Outlook Express IMAP account

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 262641

(Thunderbird :: Migration, defect)

Description

[James1473]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051025 Firefox/1.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051025 Firefox/1.5

The Thunderbird migration code doesn't pick up the "Root folder path" from an IMAP account in Outlook Express and migrate it to "IMAP Server Directory" in Thunderbird - so Courier IMAP (and probably Courier) users have to reconfigure the this path after migration (typically the path needs to be set to "INBOX").

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure Outlook Express with IMAP to a server which requires a "root folder path" e.g. Courier
2. Install Thunderbird.  Allow the migration code to import the detected OE account
3. Fire up Thunderbird.  You need to edit the imported account to add the "IMAP Server Directory" - it ought to be imported along with the rest of the account details

Actual Results:  
IMAP Server Directory is lost

Expected Results:  
IMAP Server Directory ought to be imported from OE

On Windows XP the data appears to be stored in the registry under

HKCU\Software\microsoft\Internet Account Manager\Accounts\00000001\IMAP Root Folder

if that's any help.

Bug 262641 appears to be the correct duplicate, as it includes code that fixes the root folder.
