Using build 2000-09-26 on Mac the Mac Outlook Express5 mail and address book are
not recognized by our Import utility and do not show up on the Import list.

1. Have and Outlook Express 5 app on your mac with mail setup and address book
2. Launch Seamonkey
3. Select Import from the Tasks|Tools|Import Utility
4. Select Mail radio button, Click Next

Result: because I also have Eudora on my sytem I see Eudora listed as available
for import.  I do not see Outlook Express 5.

Expected: to see both Eudora and Outlook Express 5 listed for selection of
importing.

Also a problem with Outlook Express 5 address book
Import for Mac only supports Eudora and text files.  If I get some free time I 

will look into the possibility of adding a module for Outlook Express on Mac but 

this would be a new feature.

Does this need relnoting? If so, how many other mail apps are we going to 
relnote that we don't support?

The blurb:
It seems unclear to me whether this bug requires either of a "developer" or 
"user" release note for Netscape 6 RTM. If anyone feels it does, can they please 
draft one and then nominate with the relnote-user or relnote-devel strings in 
the Status Whiteboard.

Thanks :-)

Outlook Express is not available on OS X (only Mac OS 9), if my googling is correct. 

->WONTFIX since that not supported anymore.
