Import of Thunderbird Mail settings = Freeze.

Import of Thunderbird Mail settings = Freeze.
Wed, 30 Jan 2008 02:18:43 +010

Hi!

My first post on this group, have been around on usenet for several years,  
just not here..

Problem:

Trying to import data/settings from Thunderbird running OsX 10.5.1 (Mac).
I get to the window/screen where you select what program to import from,  
select Thunderbird, then hit next. This results in a freeze and The  
spinning Beach Ball of Death.
Only solution is to Force Quit Opera.

Any suggestions? I realy need to import my Contacts and old E-mail.

The very first time I tried this I actually got one window/screen futher,  
to where you choose what data to import from Thunderbird, but hitting Next  
got me the exact same reult.

I would appreciate any help on this.

The next release of Opera will likely have a fix for this freezing. For  
now, might it be possible to import the mbox files that TB uses for mail  
storage?

Hi again.

Is 9.50 far away time wise?

A problem with Thunderbird is the lack of a mail/contacts export facility.
I have asked around, and got no conclusive answer what to move to save  
contacts and mail.

I encountered this problem doing a clean install of Leopard.
I ended up moving the whole Program from a backup boot drive, did not work  
out very well, I had to fiddle with it, not even sure what fixed my  
problem...

Thanx.

Sincerely.
P.J.Berg
