94291 - no saved passwords or SMTP server for migrated profiles

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Profile Migration, defect)

Description

[bryan.cole]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010803
BuildID:    2001080312

When Migrating my profile from a Netscape 4.75 user to Mozilla, the SMTP server
details and POP-server passwords are not transfered. If these are entered
manually, the details are not saved. Restarting Mozilla always results in a
"null" SMTP server and the POP server password maust be re-entered manually,
even after selecting "save passwords". 

Note, for user-profiles created directly (using profile-manager) this problem
does not arise.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Using 20020909 build I was not able to reproduce the problem.

1. The (POP) SMTP server name was migrated fine.
2. The (POP) server password was not migrated (which is fine in my opinion) but
if I re-entered it manually and checked the "Save Password" box the password was
saved correctly.

Esther, can you verify it again? Thanks.

Esther, can you try it with the latest build and see if the problem still
exists? Thanks.

Using trunk 20021216 commercial trunk:
I tried this with NS 4.7 and linux and the SMTP server name and settings
migrated correctly.  The saved password did not, but as Cavin mentioned, this is
correct.  I then saved the password in this recent trunk build and it saved 
correctly.  This appears to be worksforme now unless the reporter still sees this.
