Build 2001-05-23-05: Mac 9.04 Overview: When importing Eudora "Settings" on the Mac, the user must know to select the "Eudora Settings" file, not very intuitive. This process should be easier for the user. Steps to reproduce: 1. Select File|Import 2. Select Settings, Next 3. Select Eudora, Next Actual Results: A "Select settings file" dialog appears but it is not clear what file the user needs. They have to know to change into the /Documents/Eudora Folder directory and select the "Eudora Settings" file. Expected Results: It would be better if the application could automatically find this file making the import process easier. Seth mentioned "suggesting the name to the user, or if there is some registry magic, pre select the file for them...".
The Eudora Settings file has a unique file type/creator signature, which may make it easier to locate on the drive. There are also particular locations where the Eudora files can be expected to be located, specifically /Documents/Eudora folder and /System Folder/Eudora folder (if the user has been using Eudora since 1.x/2.x/3.x...)
This bug is targeted at a Mac classic platform/OS, which is no longer supported by mozilla.org. Please re-target it to another platform/OS if this bug applies there as well or resolve this bug. I will resolve this bug as WONTFIX in four weeks if no action has been taken. To filter this and similar messages out, please filter for "mac_cla_reorg".
Summary: Import Eudora Settings should be easier on the Mac → Import Eudora Settings/Mail should be easier on the Mac
