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/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

When I check the "Import from Outlook" option the installer foes off an imports
everything from Outlook. I have 2.8Gb of data in several pst files.

I would like to request an enhancement to the installer which gives you a choice
of what you would like to import.

By default Thunderbird also puts all of the data in c:\Documents & Settings\...
Is it also possible in the initial installation to specify the location of
Thunderbird's application data? I would like to store email an an alternative disk.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Import Outlook data during installation

Actual Results:  
2.8Gb of data is automatically coppied across my network.

Expected Results:  
Prompt for which items to import
