290415 - [Feature Request] Ability to move mail from Windows to Linux

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 194020

(Thunderbird :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Thomas K. (:tom)]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050403 Firefox/1.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050403 Firefox/1.0.3

Similar to bug 252099, I'd like the ability to not 'share the folder' (which
would be difficult), but to be able to move all my mail to linux.  I'd think
this would be a big thing, since Firefox/Thunderbird is supposed to be a
"Gateway Drug" into OSS or something, there'd be a way to bring your mail/stuff
with you.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use Windows
2. Receive mail
3. Switch to Linux
4. Lose all mail

Actual Results:  
You don't get to bring it with you.

Expected Results:  
Used the same format between both OS's so that you could bring it with you.

I wish I had editbugs.

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

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.
