79243 - unable to import mail from Outlook into netscape 6.5b

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Profile Migration, defect)

Description

[Vatché]

We are unable to import mail to the Netscape 6.5b messenger.. It is critical 
that we do this as we will not be able to move user in our organization to 
Netscape mail from Outlook/Exchange. The following is the message that is 
received during the import:
"Unable to import mailboxes, cannot create proxy object for destination 
mailboxes"

thanks..

Mozilla build 0.9.8: WinMe
I reproduced the problem where a busy cursor appears after selecting a folder 
with message, also the messages do not appear. I had to exit/restart and then I 
was able to see the messages.

Trunk build 2002-03-01: WinMe
First I have to set Outlook as my default mail application in IE, otherwise 
I cannot import Outlook Mail. After importing I select the folders and the 
messages appear immediately. 

Maybe Moz 0.9.9 will work better or you could also try a nightly build.

Additional Information:

Moz 098: WinMe,  After restarting the app the messages in the subfolders still 
did not appear.

Trunk build 2002-03-01: After importing, the messages in the subfolders appear 
in the 1st session.
