User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-GB; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-GB; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130 When importing mail messages, or mail account settings, there is no option to select one or two folders, instead Mozilla imports everything, and one must them delete what one doesn't want. Also, importing mail account settings (if one has more than one account set up) imports all accounts, and it is next to impossible to delete an unwanted account. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Tools/Import.../Mail/Outlook Express 2. Tools/Import.../Settings/Outlook Express 3. Actual Results: All OE Folders (or accounts) are imported, with no option for deselecting unwanted folders or settings Expected Results: Bring up an intermediate dialog after Tools/Import/Mail (or settings)/Outlook Express/ with the available folders (or accounts) listed, where one can select or deselect the individual folders or accounts one wishes to import. Also, give one the option to be able to select where one would like the folders imported TO: i.e.; instead of importing everything to "Local Folders", perhaps one would like to import one or two folders to a subfolder in an existing account. Also, when importing account settings, give the option to have all accounts use the same inbox, sent, trash, and other folders... Instead, Mozilla creates multiple default folders for each account, and that is confusing (especially to new users).
