Occurred on Vista SP1 while testing Shredder Alpha 1 build 1, with build ID
version 3.0a1 (2008050715).

Go to Tools -> Import. Clicking any of "Address book", "Mail" or "Settings" leads to:

- Eudora mail and address books
- Outlook mail and address books
- Outlook Express mail and address books

which is not informative since I can have chosen "Settings" and all three options would not make sense. They should name correctly for the relevant option chosen.

I don't think this is a priority for 3, but patches are welcome.

Summary: Import wizard naming errors. → Import wizard have "mail and address books" in the list even when choosing to import "settings"
Perhaps change "Eudora mail and address books" to "Eudora mail, address books and settings", applying the same concept for Outlook & Outlook Express?

CC'ing clarkbw on this, I should be able to whip up a quick fix once Bryan approves of an alternative name.

That looks good to me.  Just one small nit to use serial commas [1] 

"Eudora mail, address books, and settings"

Also, does this same change need to be made to the other items in the list?

Yes, so they'd become:

Eudora mail, address books, and settings
Outlook mail, address books, and settings
Outlook Express mail, address books, and settings
OS: Windows Vista → All
Hardware: x86 → All

patch

-  // nsString  desc = "Outlook Express mail and address books";
+  // nsString  desc = "Eudora mail, address books, and settings";
   // *name = ToNewUnicode(desc);

These sorts of comments we can just drop. They aren't going to be implemented as that would be a regression.

 # Description of import module
 ## @name EUDORAIMPORT_DESCRIPTION
 ## @loc None
-2001=Eudora mail and address books
+2001=Eudora mail, address books, and settings

Standard l10n rules these days say that if you change the context of the string you should change the name as well.

I'll give you two choices:

a) Change the strings from having numbers as property names, to having real names (which would be nicer cleanup, but a bigger patch).

b) Change the number used for the string name.

Here's a better patch that addresses Standard8's comments. I removed the unnecessary comments, realigned the numbers in the .h files and chose to bump the numbers for the .properties files.

better patch

>+#define  OEIMPORT_NAME                       2000
>+#define  OEIMPORT_DESCRIPTION                2011
>+#define OEIMPORT_MAILBOX_SUCCESS             2002

nit: I think the OEIMPORT can all be aligned - no need for double space. Ditto in nsOutlookStringBundle.h.
