Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 395808

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.14 (20080421)

TB does not import my Eudora address book.  I use a network share to keep my eudora data on in order to use either my laptop or my desktop to read my mail.  TB imports all my messages and message folders correctly, but I get nothing in the address book.  If I try to manually initiate the import, I do not get an opportunity to specify where the Eudora AB is so I assume that the import function is only looking in some default area of the local C drive which would be incorrect since the data is on a network file share.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Convert a Eudora address book that is on a network file share.
2.
3.


Expected Results:  
I should have all my complete email address book in TB along with all my Eudora defined groups.

If you have any fixes, I would be happy to test them.  I am interested in getting off of Eudora, but I do not want to re-enter my complete and large address book.

It seems a dupe of bug #483658 (that extend this with more cases)

This is not quite the same.  While both are import problems.  This one is specifically about importing data from a network share with now way to point to the share.  It may import correctly, but there needs to be a way to point to the network share or TB needs to be able to read the Eudora.ini file to find the correct location of the addressbook.
