I would like to see it possible for thunderbird to migrate messages and
configuration from evolution 1.4.x and 2.x.

I choose all OS because evolution win32 is in the making :)

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.

I want to use Thunderbird again, and would like to make a smooth
transition to it. Unfortunately, other than a "Duct tape and bailing
wire" solution found on the Internet, there doesn't seem to be any way
to do this.

I wish I could save the 2 hours I spent today migrating from (and
dealing with incompatilbilities between) evolution to thunderbird... +
time to file bugs even though this was known for 1,5 years.

Patch, version 0.2

This is a very alpha version of the patch. All it supports at the moment
is address book import, but, in the meantime, I had to patch
configure.in and a few other things to support that much. I'm still
playing around with the namespace stuff (dmose suggested
mozilla::messaging, so I'm seeing how that works out).

I still need to tackle mail import, and I want to add some tests as
well. Since I've learned a lot about import, I'll also write up
documentation, so don't expect to see a comprehensive, review-ready
patch for a while.

I think this bug need to be solve if Thunderbird wants to be the default mail 
app in Ubuntu... Because easily importing old mail and contact of Ubuntu user 
is necessary...
Note that Thunderbird 5 will natively import vcard file, which is also the 
format used by Evolution, so this point should not really be a problem anymore.

Some discussion from IRC today with respect to Thunderbird-Evolution migration:
1. As far as Ubuntu is concerned for now, "importing" address books amount to 
adding an e-d-s address book in Thunderbird, so we don't need to actually 
import data.
2. Most of the settings are basically gconf (at least for now), so importing 
settings is fairly easy.
3. We have not started worrying about message import. If mbox is the storage 
backend, that is very easy to import (cp/ln the file to the profile directory). 
If it's mh or maildir... we'd have to have a better system.

My 2 cents:
- Evolution 2.32 (default for Ubuntu 11.04) use mbox storage.
- Evolution 3.0 (default for Fedora 15) use MailSir storage (as indicated here: 
http://live.gnome.org/Evolution/Planning30 )

So it need to be defined if this bug only address import from Evolution
2.3 (mbox), or also try to cover Evolution 3.0 (maildir).

Title:
  Migrate (import) settings and messages from Evolution

Status in Mozilla Thunderbird:
  Confirmed
Status in evolution package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I want to migrate to migrate from Evolution to Thunderbird, the new standard 
mail-application in Ubuntu. I installed the addon ImportExportTools (2.7.0.3) 
and have chosen the Inbox mbox in 
/home/user/.local/share/evolution/mail/local_mbox and imported the mails 
(already not really user friendly!) 
  But in fact I've lost a lot of my Emails. In fact I've got all my Mails up to 
October 2011 (I think I've updated there to Oneiric Ocelot) but mails I 
received and send afterwards were not imported. 
  I then opened Evolution again and my mail was still there. I tried to save my 
Inbox as an mbox-file but it seems to produce enormous files (in my sent-folder 
there are 1500 mails and my free available disk storage of 170 GB wasn't 
sufficient to store and produce this mbox). What can I do? How can I import my 
mails?

  From my point of view there should be, after a decided change of a
  core application, a migration tool which makes it easy to continue to
  work with the hole system.
