When installing Thunderbird on a new machine, it's not possible to import the e-mail messages from another machine's e-mail folder unless the actual folders are copied and the current store is replaced. When messages already exist in the current store, they are lost.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create new mail profile with seperate folders.
2.Copy an exisisting profile to a USB Flash drive
3.Try and import the messages

Actual Results:  
Option does not exist to import messages from Thunderbird or Mozilla

Expected Results:  
It would be great to import Thunderbird profiles, addresses and messages!
