120480 - outlook import mail feature not working

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 79243

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Account Configuration, defect)

Description

[damn23]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.7+)
Gecko/20020111
BuildID:    2002011103, 0.9.7 and before

I use outlook XP as my main email prog. I tried to import mail using .9.7 and
earlier builds, but i get error message saying "Unable to create proxy object
..." message about 10-15% into the import. I can see some of the folders that
were imported, but when i click on them- the cursor just changes to the busy
cursor. There is not mail that shows up in the folders. I think import is one of
the critical featur5es that has to perfect before release. 

Also, I have another suggestion: You should be able to import the rules wizard
from Outlook- so that incomming mail is automatically filtered and directed to
the appropriate folder in the mailbox. I dont know if the imp[ort settings
feature does that. Also suppose i create a set of new rules in Mail, I should be
able to run the rules on existing Mail- outlook lets you do that.I think the
Mail/News needs quite a bit of bug fixes. I thought the sidebar divider in the
0.9.6 version was better- i think the new one is just too thick- same goes fot
Navigator. The sidebar divider can be made a little thinner.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.import mail from outlook
2.
3.

Actual Results:  import fails- "Unable to create proxy objects...."

Expected Results:  import should be successfull

please take a look at the suggestions
