35242 - Addressbook not migrated with 4.x -> 5.0 profile

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

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

Description

[Douglas Lee]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.72 [en] (Win95; U)
BuildID:    2000040816

I'm sure someone's already reported this bug, but anyway...
When I installed mozilla, I found that the addressbook doesn't get carried over. 
 Sometimes bookmarks do or don't (see bug 35132), but in either case, my 
addressbook (which contains X number of address cards) doesn't get carried over.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install mozilla and migrate a profile
2. check the addressbook
3. you can also write a new message and try to use the addressbook to drop 
recipient addresses, but you wouldn't find any address cards

Actual Results:  the addressbook is empty

Expected Results:  the addressbook should have migrated in the 4.x -> 5.0 
profile conversion

sspitzer has fixed this, I believe.

due to some proprietary neologic code, AB migration will only work:

1) on the official Netscape version (not the mozilla version)
2) in beta2 and forward.  (the fix didn't make it into beta1)

so either this bug is a "wontfix" (if this is a bug against Mozilla) or a 
"duplicate, this bug has been fixed, wait for beta 2" (if this is a bug against 
Netscape 6, pr 1)

Probably won't fix as this bug is against Mozilla.  That's good to know - I 
didn't know about the Mozilla case.
