Description Paul Magarey 2008-04-13 13:08:03 UTC

Version:           1.9.6 (enterprise 0.20070907.709405) (using 3.5.8, Kubuntu (gutsy) 4:3.5.8-0ubuntu3.3)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.22-14-generic

My Mozilla files are found at /home/.mozilla-thunderbird/r8fb8bgv.default/Mail/Local Folders.  I can see them all there using Dolphin 0.9.2.  However, when I use the KMail Import Tool, it will not recognise any files found at  /home/.mozilla-thunderbird/r8fb8bgv.default/Mail/Local Folders.  

I've successfully save them to a memory stick, but directing the KMail Import Tool to that location gives the same result.  I have a lot of Mozilla emails that I would like to load up to KMail but can't at the moment.

I can't reproduce on trunk r948809.

Comment 3 Paul Butterfield 2009-04-17 17:05:10 UTC

I did successfully importing the mail in the end:

Perhaps there is a 'read the manual' issue here but the crash happened when I chose:

  .mozilla-thunderbird/nnnnnn.default/Mail/Local Folders

I successfully imported Thunderbird mail by selecting:

  .mozilla-thunderbird/nnnnnn.default/
