157328 - Lotus Notes import ability

Status: NEW

(MailNews Core :: Import, enhancement)

Description

[Damir Perisa]

I remarked that a lot of people use Lotus Notes (LN) at work.
Often they want to have also a private email-account on their
office-computers to read private mails at work (in coffee-breaks), but dont want 
to use Lotus Notes -> so they had Netscape4; now they changed either to Netscape
or Mozilla (MOZ) (i remarked that a lot of people use Mozilla 1.0 as their
standart browser since it is not less stable as IE or NC6)

To be able to share Addresses and Mails from LN to MOZ there is a need for 
LN-import ability in MOZ. (to share from MOZ to LN, LN is able to import
Addresses and Mails from NC6/MOZ)

I'd like to add that i'm currently on Notes at Work as well, and use Thunderbird for my email.  I don't know if this helps, but Thunderbird can use the Server Address Book from Notes via LDAP.  I think this needs to be set up on the Domino Server correctly, but once it is, Just use the Domino Server as the LDAP server address.  Using this, I got the server based email addresses.

For Local Address Books, I agree we need an import utility for them.
