This could be because of a really large netscape profile of mail,
and attachments. After it finishes it will display anything about being
completed so you have to hit quit. If you have a large netscape profile
(ie 100's of messages and a large amount of megabytes for netscape
then) One way to try this is run it before you leave to go somewhere so
that you can let it take its time. Other than that file a bug in bugzilla.
Mozilla nightlies download and install into the
"C:\Program Files\mozilla.org\Mozilla" directory, delete the Mozilla.org
directory and start a new nightly mozilla-win32-installer.exe from the
nightly directory.
-The beach ball effect is probably from a huge netscape profile, its not
done converting.. I agree there is a need for a better progress and like
not-done or completed buttons or status indicators for this feature.
