           Summary: Cannot select an external import folder
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 1.99.0
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: dennisveatch at bellsouth.net


Version:           1.99.0 (using KDE 4.7.0) 
OS:                Linux

Click File > Import. Then in KMailCVT select; Import KMail Maildirs and Folder
Structure. 

Click on Open Collection dialog. This dialog does not allow me to select a
external folder. For example I have a folder ~$HOME/mail from an old kmail
install. The dialog only allows me to choose a folder within kmails "Local
Folders" or create a new subfolder. The problem with the later is that the "new
folder" is with in the current KMail maildir.

Which is odd because of the big fat note for the KMail import filter saying to
NEVER select the current local KMail maildir.

So just exactly how am I to import old kmail maildirs?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
launch kmail and select import form File


Expected Results:  
Well I expect to presented with the ability to select external folders to
import.

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.39.4
Compiler: gcc
