Tracking bug for profile migration.

Still lots more to do.

I've made the file copying asynch so the UI doesn't freeze. I've also added a progress dialog to the import dialog...

This presumes http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=151492 has already been checked in (which it has on the branch)

+nsSeamonkeyProfileMigrator::Notify(nsITimer *timer) +{ + CopyNextFolder(); hmm. maybe using http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/netwerk/base/public/nsIAsyncStreamCopier.idl would be a better idea? (you'd have to open input/outputstreams for the file then, though... hm...)

I'm not sure what that would buy me Christian. Except for finer granularity on the file I/O. Right now coming up for air between each Operating System controlled file copy seems to be working well and keeping things responsive. I suppose if that approach ends up having problems I could try to have more control, letting Thunderbird be the one to copy each file instead of the OS. But I'd rather not.

well, what if mail files are really large? the ui might hang for a few seconds. anyway, your choice...

A Migration wizard is displayed even when mail is not being set up by mozilla1.7. This becomes the procedure in which it is somewhat confusing and is excessive for the first setup procedure. I think it good that a Migration wizard is displayed, only when the profile of Mozilla mail exists. Mac OS X 10.3.4 branch build of version 0.7+ (20040702)

checked into the branch. We'll file bugs with the migrator separately.

I am puzzled. I tried to find this import option in the latest trunk and latest 0.8 nighlies but could not find anything corresponding to what appears here. Did I take a wrong version? Isn't it available yet? Is it a Windows only fix (I am using Linux)?

In case this is useful for someone else: - this exists in the 0.8 latest nighlies - this does work with Linux - you need to have a fresh install (existing profile might keep the profile migration tool from popping up) - this tool appears at start-up but no link from entry is present in the GUI's menus (could be a topic for a new RFE bug).

Scott, you marked bug 215306 a dupe of this but it seems to me that 215306 was requesting Import of Mozilla mail and not Migration. We have Migration, but it doesn't appear there's any way to Import Mozilla mail after you've missed your one shot at Migration. Do we have a bug for adding Mozilla to the list for Tools -> Import? Can I reopen bug 215306 to track that?

I'm at a loss. It's marked fixed but I still don't see any easy way to import or migrate Seamonkey (Moz App Suit) towards Thunderbird! I have Thunderbird 0.9 installed. Is there something the end-user have to do to RESET Thunderbird? Will Thunderbird 1.0 (when shipped) ask to migrate mail from older version of Thunderbird and from Seamonkey? Could Thunderbird ship with a small extra application just to let someone migrate all is data? Is this possible for Mac OS X? - Jacques
