Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 688166

(MailNews Core :: Import, defect)

Description

[jvanreck]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_9_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/45.0.2454.101 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Open Thunderbird, go to menu Tools => Import. Select "Mail" checkbox and click "Next" button. Select "Apple Mail" (where are the mails that I want to import) and click "Next".
You'll get the message "No mailbox found to import".
Note that the text have been translated from Spanish, so the translation may be not accurated.


Actual results:

No emails imported at all


Expected results:

Import emails from Mail.App into Thunderbird.
With older versions of Mac OS X like OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopartd) and older versions of Thunderbird, it worked.
