*** observed with simplified chinese build on english winXP *** - using the 05/12 PR1 chinese build i am not able to import Outlook express mail but i am able to import Address Book and settings. Settings after the Import are placed on the account tree but Mail should be placed under the Local folder. In chiese build ( as oppose to german) the Local folder string is translated however internally (in Explorer) is in english. I don't know where the problem arise when importing but seems that the program is somewhere confused as of where to place the imported Local folder, it is not a problem on the localized (simplified chinese OS). It will be a problem for localized versions of Mozilla that translate folder names and are installing the browser on english OS.

I am not sure why this does not work. But I think our localized builds do not supposed to run on non localized systems (e.g. installer cannot show localized characters). Set to Future.
