[Bug 699905] [NEW] mozilla thunderbird does not allow import of existing data

[Warich, Dr, Lothar]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: thunderbird

1. Ubuntu 9.10
2. Canonical Version 2.0.0.24
3. Multiple installing (and removing the .mozilla thunderbird folder) the option to take over existing data is offered but there is no next screen, which allows to allocate the place where the required file can be found.
4. Instead the program offers to open a new mail account. But I should have the old data to work on them.
