261295 - importing mail from outlook requires outlook to be default email client

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 153419

(Thunderbird :: Migration, defect)

Description

[Ofer Nave]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10

I installed a fresh copy of Thunderbird 8.0 today and tried to import my email
from Outlook.  An error dialog box popped up complaining that Outlook was not my
default email client, and the import did not execute.  I used the Internet
Explore settings menu to set Outlook as the default email client and tried the
import again, which worked.

Could very well be an Outlook bug, but still... also, can't tell if it was
Thunderbird or Outlook that popped up that error dialog box.

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
I believe Outlook was closed at the time.



Outlook 2000 SP-3
