User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird /version 1.0.7 (20050923) 

I previously migrated my outlook folders and addresses to Thunderbird with no problem. When I went to upgrade my Intel 2.88mhz computer I reinstalled the latest version of Thunderbird (1.0.7) onto an XP Pro build w/sp2.

What is still missing from Thunderbird is the option for people who have already migrated to Thunderbird a tab, menu item, or installation selection to directly import existing folders, messages, rules, address books back into Thunderbird.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Start off with a New Hard drive
2.  Install XP & then install 1.0.7. Thunderbird
3.  Attempt to import existing Thunderbird Folders, messages, address books     
    unsuccessfully.

Actual Results:  
I ran out of Hard disk space on my C drive.

Purchased 300gb Western Digital hard drive.

Configured my old hard drive as a slave (IDE) & the new hard disk as master (ide).

Reinstalled Windows XP, SP2 onto an Intel 2.88Mhz box with 1.5gb Ram. 

Reinstalled Thunderbird and attempted to import existing folders, contacts, messages back into Thunderbird. There was no facility for existing Thunderbird users to migrate their settings back in.

Expected Results:  
Thunderbird comes up with an empty Local Folders structure, no adresses/contacts and no rules.

The software should allow for existing Thunderbird users to import their local floders, addresses, rules so that they can be back up and running in as short a period as possible.
