we need to migrate any mailbox:// urls in bookmarks. here's an example of a 4.x bookmark: mailbox:/C|/Program Files/Netscape/Users/johng/mail/Inbox?id=C32EE7CBC436D21196EA00805FA7F6A60D826B%40ptmsg1.hq.navy.mil&number=16254696&part=1.2 we need to migrate that to mailbox://johng@nsmail-2/Inbox?id=C32EE7CBC436D21196EA00805FA7F6A60D826B%40ptmsg1.hq.navy.mil&number=16254696&part=1.2 (assuming his mail server is nsmail-2) we've already got code to convert from the 4.x world to the 5.0 world see nsMsgAccountManager.cpp the tricky part is we'll have probably have to migrate the prefs first and right now, we migrate the prefs when the first mail / news window (including compose) is opened.

marking m20. accepting.

do you think a lot of people will have this? I don't think so.

no, this will not be common.

move to future milestone

migration bugs to racham

mass re-assign.

sorry for the spam. making bugzilla reflect reality as I'm not working on these bugs. filter on FOOBARCHEESE to remove these in bulk.

as with bug 45777... ->WONTFIX since 4.x migation has been dropped on trunk. If one has an overwhelming need to see this fixed on branch, please attach a patch and reopen the bug. Also, evaluate whether the issue is a bug or an enhancement request and adjust severity accordingly. filter bugmail for "4.xmidrop" to delete these messages.
