can you clarify?

which folder did your sent messages go to before PR1?
which folder did your sent messages go to after PR1?

("Local Folders/Sent"? "<earthlink account>/Sent"?)

My Sent messages went to the default directory for Sent mail on a Mac.  I didn't
change the pathname.  This bug may be related to one Linda Baliman reported:

commercial branch build:  0.9.4-2001-10-08-03 on Mac 9.1
I migrated pop account from 4.7 to 6.x using the above build. In 4.x for pop we
have all the folders below the local folder and there is only one sent folder.
When the migration occurs we migrated all the emails in the sent folder to the
pop account sent folder and not local sent folder. I saw all the email in the
4.x sent folder move.  
But I did not test this via earthlink.  
Cindy,
Do you still see this problem with the sent folder not being migrated using the
current branch build?

Cindy, I know this bug was logged months ago but if your Sent messages are still
split into two different Sent Folders please let me know which Sent folder has
the old pre-migration sent messages and which one has copies of the currently
sent messages.  
I went back to 4.7 and created a POP account and populated the Sent Folder with
200+ msgs.  I made checked to see that the Sent folder for qatest04 was
designatted as the place to put copies of sent messages.
I then migrated this profile using 6.1rtm (which was the closest build to the
one you reported the problem with).  

The migrated profile in 6.1 shows my POP account with the Sent folder and a
Local Folders with a Sent folder.  All the migrated Sent messages are in my POP
account Sent folder (as they should be) and newly sent messages are copied to
that same folder.  The Local Sent folder is not really being used.  I check to
make sure the designated Sent folder is pointing to my POP account, it was so
everything migrated OK.  We may have had a bug at the time you migrated, but we
can't reproduce it now.  I did not activate or have other mail accounts in my
6.1 profile.  You mentioned your "My Sent messages went to the default directory
for Sent mail on a Mac".  If you have multiple mail accounts the copy of a sent
message will  go to the designated Sent folder of the Identity from which you
are sending.  If you send while in the Local Folders, the Sent message will be
copied to the Default mail Sent folder.  Please let me know if you had activated
or set up mutiple accounts after migrating, I can troubleshoot more.

Sent messages were in the default Sent folder for

This bug is targeted at a Mac classic platform/OS, which is no longer supported
by mozilla.org. Please re-target it to another platform/OS if this bug applies
there as well or resolve this bug.

I will resolve this bug as WONTFIX in four weeks if no action has been taken.

No feedback on this bug since early 2002. No one could reproduce this since then.
