mozilla 1.6 Local mail folders empty if profile on network with UNC

Dear Netscape/Mozilla users, dear Ramona,
yesterday I found a bug in Modzilla and fortunately a workaround:
I moved my profile from a mapped netware drive to a samba server with UNC notation (//servername/user/.../xxx.slt).
Everything went fine but I was not able to see the mails within my local folder located on the server. But I was able to see the folders. I tried all the tricks found on this and related sites until I found a workaround:

Do a drive mapping like
net use u: \\servername\users
and set the path to your local mail to this mapping and
voila the local mails appear again after deleting the msf files.
