Package: Evolution Priority: Normal Version: 1.2.1 Synopsis: Can't import Mozilla mail Bugzilla-Product: Evolution Bugzilla-Component: Importers Description: Hey guys: I like your program a lot and would love to switch over to it. Any way I can import my mozilla info? TNX, Jim O'Dell Unknown reporter: jim@het.brown.edu, changed to bugbuddy-import@ximian.com. Setting qa contact to the default for this product. This bug either had no qa contact or an invalid one.
You can import from Mozilla/Netscape pretty easily. First, your Mozilla files must be available to you into your account. From the "File" menu select "Import...", that will start the Evolution Import Assistant. Then either select "Import Data and settings from older programas" or "Import a single File". In both cases, Import Assistant will guide you on importing. If you still have problems doing this, please go to http://support.ximian.com Thanks.
Thanks for the quick response. 1) I was getting faked out because, I had to fake Evolution out to get it to let me see the .mozilla directory (Where the mail is stored). When I did that I was able to import all my mail. (I had to actually type .mozilla in the dialog box because it didn't show up as a selectable directory. 2) I wasn't as precise in my first bug report as I should have been, i.e., the first file I tried to import was my address book and alas there is no importer for that. All in all, I'm in much better shape now and can begin using the program. I've marked this as a "Reopen" just os that you can see my comments. They may be useful to the development team. Thanks guys for a job well done! Jim
