179708 - Linux Mozilla cannot import Outlook Express messages

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 167331

(MailNews Core :: Import, defect)

Description

[Alex]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; HP-UX 9000/785; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020605
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; HP-UX 9000/785; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020605

When trying to import messages from Outlook Express, the option is not even there.
I can only choose Communicator 4.X.

No Outlook, no text, no Eudora.

Any workarounds? How does the import module seek the Outlook folders location?
Is this option even available in HPUX Mozilla 1.0? If not, we should change the
severity to "enhancement"

Thx.

Alex


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to Tools -> Import
2.Select "Mail" radio button and click the "Next" button
3.There you go, only "Communicator 4.x" option...

Actual Results:  
Got frustrated...

Expected Results:  
Let me select the Outlook folders location and then import them in Mozilla's
fast & clean manner.

yes because there is no eudora or Outlook for HP-UX

I hope you are talking about the Importing module options, cause the actual
Outlook DOES exist for HPUX. I'm running it right now...

This one does even exist on normal Linux. Even if Outlook is not available for
Linux the import function should be add because is someone changes his system
from Windows to Linux he should be able to read old E-Mails.

At least there should be a function to import the mails as text.
