Using the Lithuanian version of Thunderbird there is an error importing outlook
messages, if the mozilla profile is stored at a samba server.
Mozilla creates a new folder, which name includes " signs. The folder will
created correctly at the samba machine, but the windows machine does provide
another name. So the folder cannot be found by mozilla, the import failes.
Although this might be a problem between the filesystems used in Samba and
Windows, there is a simple workarround: do not use " within filenames.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a profile located at a samba share using the Lithuanian version 
2.import Outlook Express data
3.

Actual Results:  
all imports are failing. Have a look at the new folder names created in the
profile folder, you see, they seam to be different in the windows explorer and
at the samba machine. It cannot be accessed by the windows machine.

Expected Results:  
It should not use " in folder/filenames
