I would like to see it possible for thunderbird to migrate messages and
configuration from evolution 1.4.x and 2.x.

I choose all OS because evolution win32 is in the making :)

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

I want to use Thunderbird again, and would like to make a smooth
transition to it. Unfortunately, other than a "Duct tape and bailing
wire" solution found on the Internet, there doesn't seem to be any way
to do this.

I wish I could save the 2 hours I spent today migrating from (and
dealing with incompatilbilities between) evolution to thunderbird... +
time to file bugs even though this was known for 1,5 years.

Created attachment 377506
Patch, version 0.2

This is a very alpha version of the patch. All it supports at the moment
is address book import, but, in the meantime, I had to patch
configure.in and a few other things to support that much. I'm still
playing around with the namespace stuff (dmose suggested
mozilla::messaging, so I'm seeing how that works out).

I still need to tackle mail import, and I want to add some tests as
well. Since I've learned a lot about import, I'll also write up
documentation, so don't expect to see a comprehensive, review-ready
patch for a while.

I think this bug need to be solve if Thunderbird wants to be the default mail 
app in Ubuntu... Because easily importing old mail and contact of Ubuntu user 
is necessary...
Note that Thunderbird 5 will natively import vcard file, which is also the 
format used by Evolution, so this point should not really be a problem anymore.

Some discussion from IRC today with respect to Thunderbird-Evolution migration:
1. As far as Ubuntu is concerned for now, "importing" address books amount to 
adding an e-d-s address book in Thunderbird, so we don't need to actually 
import data.
2. Most of the settings are basically gconf (at least for now), so importing 
settings is fairly easy.
3. We have not started worrying about message import. If mbox is the storage 
backend, that is very easy to import (cp/ln the file to the profile directory). 
If it's mh or maildir... we'd have to have a better system.

My 2 cents:
- Evolution 2.32 (default for Ubuntu 11.04) use mbox storage.
- Evolution 3.0 (default for Fedora 15) use MailSir storage (as indicated here: 
http://live.gnome.org/Evolution/Planning30 )

So it need to be defined if this bug only address import from Evolution
2.3 (mbox), or also try to cover Evolution 3.0 (maildir).
