I was just able to import messages from main identity.
I would like to omport messages from other Outlook identities.
Because I was miainly using other identity.
Identity is M$ name for profile. 

I am missing selection of identity to import from.

Confirmed here with Windows 2000 and MSOE 6. This one really bothers me. :)
Summary: Import from Outlook Express imports just main identity → Import from Outlook Express imports just main identity
I'm not sure it's the "main" identity at work here. When I chose to import email
from OE6 it imported the main identity, which happened to be my mail. However,
when I chose to import account settings, it imported the settings from a
different identity, which is not set as main. In neither case did it prompt for
an identity - which it should - and in neither case did it prompt for a
password, even though both of the identities it used are password-protected
(technically that's probably an M$ bug!)

The best way to fix this would be to add an identities feature to Thunderbird.
;-) This is a serious point. I (and probably many others on shared computers)
couldn't really make Thunderbird my *default* email client without it.
Perhaps a sub-issue of bug 212153?

Normally, I'd dupe that to this, but the filer posted a patch before seeing that it was a dupe. Oh well.
