I had to format my system partition and moved my mozilla profile to another one.
When I reinstalled everything, I decided to leave the profile in the new
partition to avoid trouble in the future.
When I imported my profile I saw that all my mail was "lost". I looked in the
account preferences and noticed that the mail directory was the one of the old
profile and I had to manually set it to the new location.
I suggest that the mail directory should be stored as a relative path if it is
inside the profile. This way, when the profile is moved, all the mail is
immediatelly accessible when the profile location is updated.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a mail account with its directory set inside your profile (default?)
2.Download some mail
3.Move your profile to other directory/drive
4.Change your profile location to the new one
5.Open your e-mail account
Actual Results:
The mail you have already downloaded is not shown. The mail directory is set to
the old profile location.
Expected Results:
The mail should be shown as if the profile wasn't moved
