+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1259040 +++

From Bug #1259040 comment 56.
Migrate existing Maildir accounts from the prior non-*.eml-files to the new *.eml-files. If not we could have a lot support requests because of not working system integration (eg. not working Windows search) in future.

Is there more work to do here now that bug 1259040 is done?

How does bug 1214407 factor in?

And, it seems like we should morph Bug 468373 to recommending that users who want "Search" should use maildir.

Flags: needinfo?(mkmelin+mozilla)

Bug 1259040 fixed the naming for files created after that patch, but not existing ones - which we may want to go over and rename as appropriate (this bug).

I guess the other bugs are related but just need doing
