228469 - Outlook Express Import impossible: no opportunity to select a WAB file

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 124486

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Address Book & Contacts, defect)

Description

[Graham Leggett]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007

After exporting the address book from an Outlook Express install on machine A,
an attempt is made to import this address book into Mozilla on machine B.

Import Outlook Express address book is selected, but results in the following
message: "Error importing address book, all addresses may not have been imported".

It seems that Mozilla assumes that there is a copy of Outlook Express locally on
the machine, and that no user would ever consider importing an address book from
another machine. Mozilla does not present the user with an open file dialog
inviting the user to select the relevant WAB file from Outlook Express.


Reproducible: Always
