Bug#384964: Easier means of opening mbox-formatted mails
Package: thunderbird Version: 1.5.0.5-1 Severity: wishlist Thunderbird should have an easier means of opening an mbox file, rather than needing to manually copy the file into the Mail directory in your profile. Perhaps Tools-Import should offer an mbox option; perhaps thunderbird /path/to/mbox should work and mbox files should get associated with Thunderbird by default (such as in Firefox downloads); perhaps drag and drop of an mbox file should work. - Josh Triplett signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

I bet this enhancement is already suggested in mozilla bugzilla.

Can you search and post the bug number here? 225896 talks about mbox import, drag-and-drop, and opening. 266175 talks about using File-Open to open an mbox file. (Note that when 266175 claims that drag-and-drop works which fixes 225896, this does not appear to actually work, at least with Nautilus.) - Josh Triplett signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
