518389 - Mail from Seamonkey 1.x profile failed to import

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 452465

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[(address does not accept unsolicited mail)]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.4pre) Gecko/20090903 SeaMonkey/2.0b2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.4pre) Gecko/20090903 SeaMonkey/2.0b2

For some reason during the profile import process, during installation, although the mail settings imported successfully, the actual mail messages failed to do so. I've got about 3 different POP3 accounts and the local folders tree all with messages and none copied across

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run installer
2. Choose a Seamonkey 1.x profile to import from
3. Once complete, start browser and no messages will be there.
Actual Results:  
Mailbox settings were preserved but the mailbox itself was empty

Expected Results:  
Emails from Seamonkey 1 accounts should be there.

It would have been interesting to get an explicit confirmation of whether this bug was actually bug 452465 or not. (See bug 555625 for example.)

This bug looks more Incomplete than Duplicate... "Anyway", since the reporter didn't care/complain.
