Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Migration, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3

I use mozilla mail 1.7.13 with a single default profile. when TB3 proposes to import data, i choose "everything" + "mozilla1.x" et get message
"everything imported ok" while indeed half a byte of data does not appear and account + messages are all left blank.

It seems that for any reason TB did not succee to find the profile location. Add an option to make it possible to import manually from a user specified location.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.launch TB
2.select import everything
3.select from mozilla1.x
Actual Results:  
nothing was imported

Expected Results:  
several thousands of messages + account parameters should have been imported

i rated severity as major because if it is not possible to migrate flawlessly data from existing email client, i will never use TB as wonderful as it may be and i deem it is a break of a major feature.

sandalin, do you have the same issue also using latest TB 3.1.x?
