This appears to be linux only. 
We need more info please.  Can you give us steps to reproduce please?
Whiteboard: [NEED INFO]
Steps:  
1.  Migrate (I used IMAP) profile.
2.  Workaround the browser start page hang (bug #41563).
3.  Go to mail window. IMAP account hierarchy is collapsed (so you don't hit bug
#42686).

Notice there is no Local Folders hierarchy present.

Removed NEED INFO.

Every profile should have a Local Folders hierarchy.

I'm not seeing this.

my gut tells me that after we fix today's insanity with the build and the
crashers, this will work.

I'll investigate and fix.
Has anyone tried this in yesterday or todays build to see if it was fixed as
Seth thought?
Using the linux build 2000-06-18-20 on my system.  I migrated my IMAP account 
and when opening mail I saw local folders.  I did launch browser and waited for 
the slow start page to finish and then launched mail.  I didn't have any 
custom local folders so I removed the profile from 6.0 and went to 4.7 and 
created some custom local folders, then repeated the migration. All my newly 
created local folders were there.  This can be resolved as fixed and I will 
verify it.
since no actual work was done to fix this, I'm just going to mark WORKSFORME

FYI...Using the linux installer build 2000-06-19-08, I tried this again and it 
works. Laurel, I'll wait and let you verify it.
