274826 - Certain Outlook folders don't import correctly

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(MailNews Core :: Import, defect)

Description

[Nick]

For the most part the import from an Outlook pop account worked, but during the
import process I got weird messages about not being able to save my draft to a
temp file.  It was unclear why that was involved.  It reported the name either
as %PO%, or every so often complained about "mapiattach" or something of the
like.  It would pop up such messages many, many times in a row.  I had to hold
down enter to get past them all.  Eventually it seemed to have imported many of
my messages, but a few were not imported or were imported incorrectly (e.g.,
they had the wrong send date).  Outlook could read them fine, so I don't think
they were corrupted.  Specifically it seemed to have trouble with messages that
contained attachments.

Unfortunately, I can't be much more specific than that.  Oh, it was Outlook
2003, but it had been upgraded from Outlook XP, I believe.

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.
