User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 4.0) Opera 7.54  [de]
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 1.0 german

When trying to migrate from Opera 6.06 and import one after another MBX-file, 
Thunderbird overwrites the previous result.
A workaround is, to close Thunderbird in between, restart the application and 
then start the migration from scratch what is a little bit boring, because 
Thunderbird do not remember the path it uses last time to the MBX-File.
Note: Before using the Opera-files i renamed them from MBS to MBX.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Rename the Opera mail-files to *.mbx.
2. Start the import in Thunderbird.
3. Select a file an import it.
4. After finishing return to step 1 and repeat.
Actual Results:  
Loosing most of the importet mails.

Expected Results:  
Preserve the results from the previous one and add the actually imported emails.
Version: unspecified → 1.0
