Hi Mike
Cause of problem found. Firstly re: previous post above >I migrated a 4.x profile and didn't see the problem. >Are you using IMAP or POP? >Is there anything you can think of that is unique about your system? >Mike Answers:- How many times did you use the migrated profile? You need to use it at least twice - once to confirm that the profile migrated OK and then to find out that Mozilla has trashed the INBOX. I am using POP. Probably :-) but in what respect? eComStation GA 1.01, using pmmerge.dll from 47601_fix.zip (best pmmerge so far), kernel 14.086d_W4 My Boot (System) Drive is H: Netscape and various versions of Mozilla (currently 0941 and a build of 097) reside on drive J: Here is what happens when I install Build ID: 2002012408 Unzip mozilla_os2.zip to J:\mozilla\bin Start mozilla and the Profile Manager is displayed Select to Copy Profile "losepete" Mozilla then starts with the copied/converted Profile. Click "Tasks", select "Mail and News" Mail and News client opens - at this point INBOX is readable, the Character Coding is Western Now close Mozilla Restart Mozilla (seconds, minutes or hours) later Click "Tasks", select "Mail and News" Mail and News client opens - the INBOX is now unreadable, the Character Coding is Arabic, trying to select Western in the properties for the folder does not work because the OK button does not work now. As I am not the only person with this problem I suspect a "broken" Mozilla email client. Further investigations reveal that if I delete the files with the msf extension (Mozilla Summary Files ?) from the mail folder then start Mozilla the INBOX is readable again - this seems to indicate something wrong somewhere with Mozilla. I have repeated the deletion of the msf files five (5) times and each time Mozilla will display the INBOX correctly - and the other folders that it has trashed. Looks like the problem is in the msf file created for each folder. A few further problems you may be able to help with:- Problem 1:- this Profile has been created in j:\os2web\bin\mozilla\profiles and I would really like to store it elsewhere, separate from the \bin directory tree, such as j:\os2web\mozilla\profiles. I have found that setting Mozilla_Home to j:\os2web before starting Mozilla for the first time means that Mozilla will not find any Netscape profiles to migrate! - just a blank "Create a Profile" screen. Problem 2:- Why does the Profile Manager create the News folder for this profile in J:\Netscape\Users\losepete\mail5\mail ? It is the only profile of five that, it seems, must be created within the original Netscape\Users tree. Why? Problem 3:- How do I move the Profile folder and News folder (from questions 1 & 2) to where I want them to be located?
