User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009011913 Firefox/3.0.6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) Build Identifier: 2.0.0.19 (20081209) I'm trying to import a backed-up Outlook pst file. Yes, I know all about having Outlook as the default app, installing TBird, conversion, then importing. That's not possible here. I don't have Outlook on this new PC and I can't install it right now. My suggestion is that when you try to import to the Address book or importing email using Tools > Import, part of the process should be to prompt for the path. As it is, TBird searched for the default path, but there is no default path on my PC, so it can't find anything. Adding an option to select the folder and pst file will help solve this. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select Tools > Import. 2. Select Mail. 3. Select Outlook. Actual Results: Cannot find outlook emails or address book because it is looking in the wrong place. Expected Results: After step 3., TBird should have asked me where the .pst file was stored so that it could import it.
