Overview: What should the accounts be called after an import is performed?
Should it use the Username, Server Name or some combination?

Steps to reproduce:

- In Eudora, Outlook Express and Outlook I created profiles which included two
accounts (User1 on mail.earthlink.net and qatest33 on nsmail-1).
- In Netscape6 I created 3 different profiles, one for each mail client.
- After importing them into Netscape6, different results occured:

1. Eudora Settings import
- Eudora Settings (should actually reference earthlink)
- qatest33        (uses the username)

2. Outlook Express Settings import (uses the server name)
- mail.earthlink.net
- nsmail-1

3. Outlook Settings import(uses the server name)
- nsmail-1
- mail.earthlink.net
Marking nsbeta1 because the names of the accounts should be consistent.

New accounts created using Mail are now given the default name 
<EmailAddressOfAcct>.  Imported accounts should also follow this if possible.

The previous statements referenced what appears after Importing "Settings". 
The following statement are about Importing "Mail":

Build 2001-05-23-04: WinMe

Import "Mail" for:
- Eudora, displays "Eudora" in the folder pane
- Outlook Express, displays "Outlook Express" in the folder pane
- Outlook, displays "Outlook" in the folder pane

Build 2001-05-23-08: Mac 9.04
Import "Mail" for:
- Eudora, displays "Eudora" in the folder pane
Marking nsbeta1 because importing Mail/Settings should reference the account 
name instead of the third party name (i.e. Outlook, Outlook Express or Eudora).

Assigning to Bhuvan, please reassign if this is not correct.

Regarding Comment #2

Can this confuse the user?  Consider creating an account username@foo.com [your
current account] ... then importing your mail from Eudora where you used the
same username and servername.   If you strictly adhere to EmailAddressOfAccount
for the imported {folder name} then you could have two of the same name in the
account view.

Perhaps a better name would be {3rd Party Name}:{email address of account} e.g.
Eudora:username@foo.com

This could allow for importing more than one account and not displaying Eudora,
Eudora (2), etc...
