You're a chief clown aren't you ? How come some come bugging me after
three years silence to come tell me such stupidities on a bug report
site ? (and I don't use Windows).

Subject: Import functions in mails clients. Solution needed, ease the
import of profile from Thunderbird to Thunderbird, from any GNU/Linux
distro to another. The shame is : it used to be ready for Outlook users,
but Linux users are supposed to know how to copy the directory from one
place to another, even when being newbees (what I am not anymore, three
years after).

I recently saw that no import function at all works in Evolution, thus I
think the problem probably exists for *all mail clients*.

be miss reading this but this is how it sounds.

Maybe. I also think the distribution makes it's own repackaging, and the
mail client might as well offer some tiny differences from one
distribution to another.

> If i am wrong please explain in detail what you want to see, Changing
the package that it is reported on doesnt make it any easier to
understand what you are looking for.

I think it's unfair that Windows users usually get all the good docs and
methods to do things, and GNU/Linux users used to get all the hard work
asking everywhere how to do that, just because they are Linux users and
where supposed to know how to deal with that, but after three years, the
things have changed a great deal with the communautary wiki's.

But still, Thunderbird should be able to import the personal stuff from
another Thunderbird, when you want to change from one GNU/Linux
distribution to another.

So if you want to fix import functions now, after three years, test it : 
install two distros etc...
If you don't want to fix it, close this report. I wrote it at Breezy Badger 
time.

Greetings, Joyce Markoll.
