GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 214858
Auto-Import mozilla mail
Last modified: 2021-05-19 11:37:02 UTC
I'm currently using mozilla - it's a great mail client and browser, but I'd like to give evolution a try for it's calendaring abilities. As mozilla mail is pretty basically the same as netscape mail, how hard would it be to add a mozilla mail importer?

This was my one wish for! Work around I did last night to get evolution running (mozilla 0.9.7 mail client is buggy!). First compress ALL your mozilla folders. There is a bug that imports deleted mail. You cannot find the mozilla individual files because it is .mozilla which does not appear in the files box for import. I created a link to the .mozilla/default/Mail directory and imported the files individually. I have a lot of folders so it was painful but did not take to long. The import itself was fast with thousands coming in in seconds on a PII 350. The filters I built by hand again with the create from mail option this is very very fast, I love it!
Currently we check for Pine, Netscape, Elm, and iCalendar. We should check for Mozilla, Gnus (do Gnus, Pine, etc. all use the same folder location?), probably Mutt, and some others. But Mozilla is definitely a big one.
aaron's last comment is based on evolution 1.4.4-54. (...just updating, adding keyword...)
mozilla would be great, yepp.
Bumping version to a stable release.

GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new enhancement request ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
