if the user used IMAP in 4.x, we currently leave there "Local Mail" behind on migration. We need to migrate it over, and if there were any prefs (like default_fcc prefs) that pointed to those folders, they may need to be adjusted. see news://news.mozilla.org/37CAAAC5.6008BC1B%40netscape.com for more of alecfs ideas on how to do this. since I'm working on mail-news migration bugs and features, assigning this one to me.

fixing summary. marking fixed. until #12931 is fixed, you'll have to test this by hand. to test by hand, do this: get a 4.x prefs.js for someone using IMAP. copy the 4.x "Local Mail" folders to <profile>/Mail/Local Mail on unix, I did something like this: cp -r /u/sspitzer/nsmail/* ~/.mozilla/sspitzer/Mail/Local Mail cp ~/.netscape/preferences.js ~/.mozilla/sspitzer/prefs.js Now, when you start up 5.0 and the prefs get migrated, you should see "Local Mail" in your folder pane. if you look in your prefs, you should see something like this: user_pref("mail.server.server3.directory","/u/sspitzer/.mozilla/sspitzer/Mail/Local Mail"); user_pref("mail.server.server3.hostname", "Local Mail"); user_pref("mail.server.server3.type", "none"); user_pref("mail.server.server3.userName", "nobody");

Seth, For my IMAP account I am not getting any Local Mail migrated/copied over. I have a path $HOME/.mozilla/gbush/Mail/Local Mail but I am unable to move to that directory (too many arguments). In the mail directory I also have a directory called server2 and a file called server2.msf. In Messenger clicking on Local Mail does nothing (as opposed to POP where I can see my folders and messages) This is true on both Unix and WinNT. This worked when I tested by hand....see also bug 12931
