1777520 - Import tool gets stuck in step 2 after flashing red message "No Profile found" (Seamonkey, Outlook)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect, P4)

Description

[Thomas D. (:thomas8)]

Maybe a runtime thing, or maybe only reproduces first time?
A bit erratic, but have seen it twice now

STR (new, better STR in comment 3)

1. Tools > Import
2. Choose Seamonkey or Outlook as source in step 1 of import
3. After getting red error "No Profile found" in step 2 of import, try Back button

Actual result

• in step 2 of import, red message flashes "No Profile found"
• back button thereafter fails to go back to step 1

Expected

• back button should always work correctly

Workaround is to call import tool from menu again.

I can't reproduce this, though I haven't yet had a chance to try on Windows. The error should only be shown if you click next after you made a selection in the second step.

Could you check the error console to see if there's anything there?

Your screenshot looks like a case where the import tab didn't get initialized correctly, and is thus showing things it shouldn't be showing. You can also see that it thinks it's on the initial step.

New STR

1. Tools > Import
2. Choose Seamonkey, Continue
3. < Back
4. Choose Outlook, Continue ("No Profile found")
5. < Back

Actual

• Outlook step 2 shows step 2 of SeaMonkey instead (under "No Profile found" bar)
• < Back fails, just removes the "No Profiles found" bar
