242750 - Import from Apple Mail (Mail.app)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 94210

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, enhancement)

Description

[Brion Vibber]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/124 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/125.1
Build Identifier: version 0.6 (20040502)

Many Mac OS X users use Apple's Mail.app for e-mail. It would be very nice to be able to import 
settings and, more importantly, locally stored mail, from Mail.app to Thunderbird.

Mail.app's local folders are in '*.mbox' bundles under ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes. The bundles each 
contain what looks like a straightforward flat mbox file along with binary files for indexes etc. The 
mbox file can be copied out, renamed, and dropped into a Thunderbird profile's local folders directory 
for a manual import, but this should be automated.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Tools/Import...
2. Select 'Mail'

Actual Results:  
Not given any option to import existing mail from Mail.app

Expected Results:  
Offer to import that stuff.
