I have installed Windows 8.1 with windows live mail. Now I want to switch to Thunderbird and import the windows Live Mail data. When I choose to import Live Mail at the screen with Import Settings and Mail Folders there is nothing to choose from.

Is there something I have missed....?

Kind regards,
