279978 - Non-empty mail list in Outlook Express imported as an empty mail list in Thunderbird

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 222774

(Thunderbird :: Migration, defect)

Description

[Roger House]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird version 1.0 (20041206)

Immediately after installing Thunderbird, I imported everything from Outlook
Express.  Mailing lists show up in Thunderbird, but when viewed with Properties,
they are all empty.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Create a mail list in Outlook Express and add some members to it
2.  Import mail lists from Outlook Express to Thunderbird
3.  Look at the imported mail list

Actual Results:  
The mail list in Thunderbird is empty

Expected Results:  
All members of the Outlook Express mail list should show up as members of the
Thunderbird mail list.

I verify that this is the case.  It is always repeatable.  I have not seen a
case yet where the Outlook Express import properly imports the mailing lists. 
Of course, it should be noted that even trying to transfer OE to itself (between
accounts) can prove problematic..  I don't think the address book format it uses
is very stable.

If there was a more user-interactive tool for doing the import, this might help.
 I wonder if it is partly a mapping-style issue.

I have a fix for this - it needs some cleanup, however.
