User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20010923 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 I imported mail from Outlook Express. Few of the Outlook Express folders contained a '/' (like 'newsletters/info'). They failed to be imported. I changed '/' to '-' (newsletter-info) and it worked. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create an Outlook Express folder containing '/' (i.e. newsletter/info) 2.Import mail from Outlook Express 3. Actual Results: newsletter/info could not be created Expected Results: Import the folder with that name. For me the severity is minor. There is an easy workaround. I'm a Linux guy, so, the workaround was obvious. But for windows people who want to do the first step away from MS this bug could be critical, resulting that they will not use it.
