211765 - back button on import messages error page non-functional

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(MailNews Core :: Import, defect)

Description

[Toby Powell-Blyth]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

I tried to import messages from MS Outlook XP. Outlook reported an error saying
that outlook was not the default mail handler so could not support this request.
(and presumably returned some error)

Then Moz mail +news returned a messagebox titled "import" 
"An error occurred importing mail from Outlook"

"Unable to find mail to import. Check to make sure the mail application is
correctly installed on this machine"

I clicked the "back" button to try again, and nothing happened. The button
changed colour as though it was going to do something (I presume an onlick
thing) but nothing happens. Finish works fine.

I was trying to import "Mail" incidentally



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open mail and news when outlook XP installed, with Moz as default mail
client. In my case, microsoft's default program changing application "set
program access and defaults", Outlook does not appear.
2. Go Tools: Import: Mail: Outlook
3. See error message from Outlook
4. Try clicking "Back" button

Actual Results:  
Nada. Nothing. Zarro.

Expected Results:  
Gone back a page

If anyone has any idea why Outlook is returning this error in the first place,
please feel free to share it :)

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that

highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
