I will be happy to use your import feature for theBat, but theire is an exception in import_modules.js line 180, the code use a deprecated function in thundirbird var proxyMgr = Cc['@mozilla.org/xpcomproxy;1'].getService(Ci.nsIProxyObjectManager);

please fix it.

i will try to use / install an older version of thundirbird (< 12 )

thanks

I cannot click "next" after choosing "The Bat" in the import dialog :(.
I can click it once, but then it's greyed out and nothing happens.

I am having the same issues as Bruce Leary described (and I don't know how to patch the source file and repack the extension). Please fix.

I have fixed the issue in version 1.0.1, which is available for download (not reviewed yet, so available at the bottom of the page).

Thanks for this add on! Worked perfectly with my The Bat! 4.2. The import of over 30000 e-mails took just 5 minutes.

When I first tried to run Bird Import it failed saying that it was unable to find the mail application (sorry I don't remember the exact error message text). I used the Venkman Java Script Debugger and determined that TbTools.jsm was expecting the registry key 'HKCU\\SOFTWARE\\RIT\\The Bat!\\Working Directory' to contain something similar to "%APPDATA%\The Bat!". In my case the registry key contains the actual path to the mail structure since it is on a different drive and is not located in the Windows application data structure. I made a minor modification to TbTools.jsm and then the import seemed to execute correctly. I have about 1.3gb of mail folders and I have not checked everything but so far it looks good. The import took several minutes to execute. My thanks to the author of this add-on. I tried to send this information directly to the author but I can't get passed the language barrier.

My modifications consist of one line commented out and one line added. These are marked below.

TbTools = {
/**
* Detect the location of The Bat! files.
*
* @returns {String} Path to the The Bat! files. False, when not found or not installed.
*/
detectLocation: function() {

var user_dir = RegTools.readStringValue(TB_USERDIR_REGKEY);

if (!user_dir)
return false;

/** var abs_user_dir = FileTools.expandEnvironmentStrings(user_dir); */ THIS LINE COMMENTED OUT

var abs_user_dir = user_dir; THIS LINE ADDED

Currently add-on needs to be run on Windows system with The Bat installed, because it looks into registry to find the mailbox folder.

I plan to allow selection of The Bat mailbox folder (eg. offline import) in next release, which is expected in 14 days – month from now. Please be patient.
