Branch build 2000-10-23-09MN6: NT4 The following was performed with Eudora mail. Overview: When doing a File|Import of Mail then a Eudora folder is created and all my messages appear in the Inbox. These messages appear to be all my POP messages. When doing a File|Import of Settings a Eudora Settings folder is created along with the structure of all my IMAP accounts (I had 2 IMAP accounts) Question: Why is there a distinction between Mail and Mail Settings? I'd prefer selecting "Mail" and getting the structure and messages all at once.

This was discussed at length a long long time ago and I honestly can't remember all the reasons we chose to make it import items separately. There are differences between the way mozilla handles multiple accounts and the way other mail clients handle multiple accounts with respect to locally stored mail. There are also situations where users do not wish to import "old" settings from apps they no longer use but might want to import old mail messages. Off the top of my head I can't recall all the significant reasons to keep things separate. I would argue that at some point an "upgrade" wizard should be built which will import everything for you and that should be a different UI than the current "import utility".

Marking this a duplicate of bug# 82485 because that bug includes Import of Mail, Settings and Address Book all at once. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 82485 ***

Verified.
