If you create a new Thunderbird directory (I had to do this because of corruption - Bug 474091 and inability to restore using Time Machine Bug 474144 ) there appears to be no way to import the old messages.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Tools -> Import 
2. Mail
Actual Results:  
Choice of Apple Mail; Communicator; Eudora

Expected Results:  
Above + Thunderbird

I think the import should be very conservative, i.e. it should ideally be sensitive to potentially corrupt files.
It should ideally be able to import the other things - Address Book; Settings etc.
The main bug is a duplicate of bug 63389. There's a duplicate for address books around as well.

Apologies - I notice that bug is several years old ! 

Is it really that hard to import mail from thunderbird to thunderbird?
