944949 - mail.server.server2.directory-rel in prefs.js should use relative path

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 760937

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, defect)

Description

[Ulf Zibis]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/25.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20131115110311

Steps to reproduce:

Add new account on profile which is hosted on NTFS volume.
(The profile is shared by Windows 7 according: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Sharing_a_profile_between_Windows_and_Linux .)


Actual results:

user_pref("mail.server.server2.directory-rel", "[ProfD]../../../../../media/Daten/Users/user/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/xxxxxxxx.default/ImapMail/yyyyy");
All existing accounts have correct relative paths.

Manual correction doesn't help: After restart, the property is again not relative.




Expected results:

user_pref("mail.server.server2.directory-rel", "[ProfD]/ImapMail/yyyyy");

So what is the path to the profile directory?

> So what is the path to the profile directory?

profiles.ini:
[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1

[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles/xxxxxxxx.default


/home/.thunderbird is symlink to /media/Daten/Users/user/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird

[:aceman]

Then this looks like a dupe of bug 760937.

Comment 4

[Ulf Zibis]

Yep, seems at least similar.

Comment 5

[Ulf Zibis]

BTW: I see, that paths for POP3 accounts use additional '/' after [ProfD], e.g. "[ProfD]/Mail/zzzzz", but others do not.

Ulf, please close bug when applicable. We have enough open bug that aren't duplicates :)
