This is just the true Thunderbird to Thunderbird version of this bug:
Bug 306175 – SeaMonkey should offer to migrate Thunderbird profile

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run import.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
No Thunderbird to Thunderbird import.

Expected Results:  
Thunderbird to Thunderbird import.

This would be especially helpful when creating a new profile, which seems to be too often recommended when having problems. Until a more solid profile scheme or some sort of profile verification/fixing utility is out, this is the only workaround. Fixing this bug would save a lot of steps. Also good for moving accounts or computers.

Also changing to 2.0, as that is my current version (nightly builds mostly). 

Thank you.

I give up on this one. I'll use the MozBackup program to do this going forward. I'm pretty sure that even though the program is old, it still works with current Thunderbird version.
