Description Dennis veatch 2011-09-08 11:30:03 UTC
Version:           1.99.0 (using KDE 4.7.0) 
OS:                Linux

Click File > Import. Then in KMailCVT select; Import KMail Maildirs and Folder Structure. 

Click on Open Collection dialog. This dialog does not allow me to select a external folder. For example I have a folder ~$HOME/mail from an old kmail install. The dialog only allows me to choose a folder within kmails "Local Folders" or create a new subfolder. The problem with the later is that the "new folder" is with in the current KMail maildir.

Which is odd because of the big fat note for the KMail import filter saying to NEVER select the current local KMail maildir.

So just exactly how am I to import old kmail maildirs?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
launch kmail and select import form File


Expected Results:  
Well I expect to presented with the ability to select external folders to import.

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.39.4
Compiler: gcc
