Branch build 2003-06-03: Mac 10.1.5
Trunk build 2003-06-03: Mac 10.1.5

Overview: Start with a dual boot system (Mac 9/Mac X) where Eudora is installed
on Mac 9. Boot into Mac X and try to Import Eudora's address book and the
address book fail to import.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Use a dual boot system (Mac 9 and Mac X)
2. Mac 9 should have Eudora installed/configured, with address book entries
3. Reboot the system into the Mac X partition
Note: When Eudora is installed on Mac X it automatically uses the data files on
the Mac 9 partition.
4. Open Netscape Mail and try to import a Eudora address book (Tools|Import,
address book radio button and try to select the Mac 9 Eudora Folder)

Actual Results: Import fails. The import dialog goes blank leaving only the
Cancel button. The address book window shows no imported address books or cards
from Eudora.

Expected Results: The address books should appear in the Import dialog and the
address book window.

Additional Information:
- Importing Mail from Eudora, ok.
- Importing Settings from Eudora, ok.

Marking nsbeta1. I'm not sure how common a Mac 9/Mac X dual boot system occurs
where the user has Eudora installed on the Mac 9 partition and the Mac X
partition. In this case the importing of the Eudora address books in Mac X fails.

Additional Information:
Importing Eudora address books are successful when the data files are only on
the Mac X partition.

dupe of bug 274021?
Invalid, given Mac 9 is not supported?

Mac OS 9, Mac OS X 10.0 and 10.1 are no longer supported in the latest supported release, 2.0.0.x.

-> invalid.
