34516 - Extra empty IMAP server directory on disk after migration.

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(MailNews Core :: Profile Migration, defect, P3)

Description

[laurel]

Using:
2000-04-04-12m15 commercial build linux rh6.0
2000-04-04-13m15 commercial build NT 4.0
2000-04-04-10m15 commercial build mac OS 9.0

After migrating a 4.x IMAP profile there is an extra empty server directory on
disk.

1.  Migrate a 4.x IMAP profile (single IMAP server).
2.  Look at the mail file structure on disk and notice there is an extra server
folder which is empty within Users50/<username>/ImapMail.
    Two directories:
          a.  nsmail-1  (populated)
          b.  nsmail-1-1 (empty)
    
Result:  there should only be one server directory.

Note:  I haven't fully investigated yet, but it appears to have no operational
impact.

I checked my prefs.js file over all platforms for my newly migrated IMAP
profiles and all prefs point to the "real" server folder, not the empty one.
