Moving open bugzilla bugs to the new bugzilla group (because I'm about to stab lots of these bugs).

Ok, bfx81@yahoo.it renamed to DISABLED-bfx81@yahoo.it, and disable flag set.

Argh, that didn't work very well :-(.
I've changed it differently now.
Comment 6 Yang Zhao 2008-10-29 06:41:52 UTC
I've just accidentally done the same thing.

The account I've accidentally created is yang@yangman.ca  However, upon noticing the option to change the email address, I moved yang@yangman.ca to yang@robot-ponies.com.

Then attempting to move yangman@gmail.com to yang@yangman.ca results in an error claiming the latter is already used.

Some assistance would be much appreciated.

yang: please open a new bug. 
do NOT reuse this bug like that.

Anyway, you have to confirm the BOTH moves via email for them to work.
try that, and open a new bug if you still have issues.
