User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)
Build Identifier: Thundervird 0.8

When I imported mails from outlook express 6 to Mozilla Thunderbird 0.8 it did 
not import any outlook express mail folder having three digits which are in 
caps. I had large mail box around 4 GB. ALl folder mail folders were imported 
except three digit CAPS folder in outlook express. Even lower case folder were 
imported but not Upper case.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create folder in outlook express with Three Digit CAPS name.
2.Imprt folder in Moziila Thunderbird.
3.

Actual Results:  
No folder with Three digit name in caps was imported.

Expected Results:  
It should have imported.

I use IBM machine having 512 mn ram. 160 GB hard disk and big outlook express 
folder (around 4 gb)
Same problem.
I worked around it but it took me hours.
Changing a folder name, or changing the depths (number of levels of 
subdirectories) would help me importing a folder which would first block.

The bug is NOT systematic though.

Also, the general behavior when encountering a "bugged" folder was to stop 
importing the following (in alphabetical order) subfolders at the same level.
