"Forward" button in evolution import assistant is disabled while trying to import PST file

[Joseph Chereshnovsky]

Binary package hint: evolution

Trying to import PST file into my Evolution but it seams like a but with import wizard. It doesn't shows any error messages, just the button to the next step of wizard is disabled without any reason.

"PST Import" plugin is enabled in Plugins Manager "Edit -> Plugins"

I'm clicking "File -> Import..." to open Evolution Import Assistant.
Then I click "Forward" to skip a welcome screen and select to import from single file.

After that I select my file in file selection dialog in "Filename:" field.
My file was correctly recognized as "Outlook personal folders (.pst)" in "File type:" field.

But I can't click "Forward" button as it is disabled.

Please refer this screenshot that contains the dialog step described above:

So I can't import my file. NO any error or warning are showed up, button is disabled without any reason.

I use Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with all the latest updates.
My mail program version is "Evolution 2.28.3"

My .pst file is about 5.7Gb and it holds my personal emails archive from my Microsoft Outlook before I migrated to Ubuntu. I think you can download a trial version of Microsoft Outlook from microsoft.com site and create a testing PST file for your needs using Windows machine.

Anyway if you will not be able to do that I can try to recover my Outlook installation and provide you will a PST file of small size.

I'm still able to reproduce this on my system:

Ubuntu 10.10
Evolution 2.30.3

all latest updates

I have evolution 2.32.1 here in Natty, could you attach a sample .pst file so that I could try to reproduce the issue and send the bug to the people writing the software.
