| valign="top" | Import email from other programs. Currently TB support old communicator, eudora and outlooks. | |||
I suggest adding support for more programs could be useful and nice. | |||
Some suggestions: | |||
Pegasus Mail ([https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=251980 BUG 251980]): mail uses three formats: one .cnm file per new email (but I think more mailers use this storage schema or are able to export mail in ti, therefore such filter could be more universal - define directory and file mask, then use these to import) and for email in folders it uses either some proprietary format or standard unix mailbox format. Addresses are stored in the .pml file, which is text file with small header (title of addressbook). Settings are stored in kind of an ini-file. Most config files have text format, which should be easy to figure out. | |||
I personally would like support for Pegasus Mail, but as part of SOC 08 import from any other email programs could be done too. Advantage is that number of import filters that would be implemented can be changed so that the work would fit into 8 weeks :) | |||
Other import wishes I found in the bugzilla: | |||
* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=224861 Forté Agent] | |||
* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94210 Mail.app on Mac OS X] | |||
* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63389 Unix mailbox format] | |||
* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=394687 Vista Windows Mail] | |||
* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217988 The Bat!] | |||
