Description frank 2007-03-18 22:38:02 UTC
Please describe the problem:
i tried to import the mbox files from thunderbird mail as a single import (this is not very convenient, but the 'intelligent import' seems not to cover thunderbird.

i could select the file, but not select the type (the drop down list remainded gray) and the forward arrow reminded gray too.

Steps to reproduce:
1. import - single file  - select a mbox file from thunderbird
2. try to select file type - not possible (also the 'automatic' selection mentioned in the instruction above -- english needs improvement -- is nowhere to be seen.
3. import is not possible


Actual results:
nothing

Expected results:
import the file 

Does this happen every time?
yes

Other information:
this is a show stopper - i wanted to use evolution, but i cannot, if i cannot move the old mail...
