When converting old mails from outlook to thunderbird, you can't assume that you
have outlook installed. 

We need way to convert old mails from pure outlook folder. For example I have
mails in c:\foobar\old\outlook directory and I want import them to thundebird,
but it is impossible, since thunderbird not give me selection of path from import.

Err. This is very stupid.!!

Reproducible: Always

This kind of stupid features should be fixed soon, because they make hard to
move from commercial software (outlook) to opensource (mozilla).

If stupid thunderbird cannot import my mail from any directory, I am not going
to move to opensource, because it makes it too hard.

In outlook you can select save directory and then make old mail usable. 

Just my .3 sents.
