Description of problem: I have just tried to use the Mozilla Thunderbird version shipped with FC3. Upon startup, I chose to import e-mail folders and settings from Mozilla 1.x. The import process went fine. I could see all my original e-mail accounts. Unfortunately, only the contents of the first account got imported properly. For the other accounts, only the default folders are there, and they are empty (Inbox, for example!). All the extra folders that I had are not even there. Does anyone else face this too? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.8.0-9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Mozilla Thunderbird 2. Choose to import e-mail from Mozilla 1.x Actual results: If you had several e-mail accounts in Mozilla Mail, see that only the messages and folders for the first account were imported properly. Expected results: All the extra e-mail accounts imported with their subfolders and non-empty contents. Additional info:
my girlfriend got bitten by this as well, further details: Subfolders to the inbox of account #2 was moved to the #1 inbox and the Inbox of #1 was filled with the contents of #2 Inbox.
I have a similar problem, although after installation from the Fedora Core 3 build, attempts to import from Mozilla 1.7.3 results in a report of success, and then Thunderbird closes and refuses to reopen. The only way to get Thunderbird to open again is to delete the .Thunderbird folder from the home directory. Thunderbird will then open, but any attempts to import email result in the same result. If I don't import, then Thunderbird will open and ask me to enter information to create an account.
Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you!
Closing per lack of response to previous request for information. This bug was originally filed against a much earlier version of Fedora Core, and significant changes have taken place since the last version for which this bug is confirmed. Note that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security fixes only. Please install a still supported version and retest. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version. Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the product to Fedora Legacy. Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not get to this bug earlier.
