This test plan is for Importing Mail/Settings from third party applications such as Eudora, Outlook, Outlook Express and Comm 4.x Local Folders. No specific specification exists for Importing so this test plan covers obvious functionality. As more information is learned then it will be updated. This test plan does not cover importing of the Address Book, which is covered in a different specification.
