714236 - When Importing Contacts from Outlook,Thunderbird Combines the Contents of All the Individual Outlook Contact Folders Into a Single Folder with Duplicate Entries

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(MailNews Core :: Import, defect)

Description

[n1dgq]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:9.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/9.0.1
Build ID: 20111220165912

Steps to reproduce:

I am running Windows XP and I use Microsoft Outlook 2007, with multiple individual Contact folders.  I imported addresses/contacts from Outlook into the Thunderbird Address Book.


Actual results:

When I import addresses/contacts from Outlook, the Thunderbird Address Book combined all my individual Contact folders into one single Contact folder with duplicate entries. This has happened with all versions of Thunderbird newer than 6.02.


Expected results:

The Thunderbird Address Book should have imported all my individual Outlook Contact folders, and not combined the contents into a single folder.  Thunderbird Versions 6.02 and earlier did not have this problem.

Ludovic, do you think that this is the same problem than this one: http://www.geckozone.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=107763 ? If yes, then we should maybe confirm the bug.

Yes looks like it. We should try to find duplicate first :-)

I only find this one when looking for "outlook + contact" and "outlook + address book" in the "Import" component...
