190469 - When importing Outlook Express mail allow to select a different folder containing .dbx files

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 124486

(MailNews Core :: Import, enhancement)

Description

[Aleksander Adamowski]

Currently the Outlook Express import tool automatically detects where is the
mail folder used by Outlook Express (e.g. on my machine "C:\Documents and
Settings\olo\Ustawienia lokalne\Dane
aplikacji\Identities\{7BFE72B5-CC2C-4949-BD86-C9278DE16653}\Microsoft\Outlook
Express") installation and imports mail from that folder.

Some users would like to import mail from an Outlook Express folder thay backed
up by copying to/from a different machine, recorded on a CD-R, etc...

I propose to add an intermediate page in the import mail from Outlook Express
Wizard, containing: 
  1) A text:
"Mail will be imported from the following folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\olo\Ustawienia lokalne\Dane
aplikacji\Identities\{7BFE72B5-CC2C-4949-BD86-C9278DE16653}\Microsoft\Outlook
Express"

  2) A "Browse..." button letting the user select a different folder

The import facility automatically imports from the default "identity". The
workaround to import from the non-default identity is to switch the default
identity. It would be nice to be able to select the identity, or selecting the
folder would also solve this problem.
