Outlook 2003
Could someone please, for the love of all that is holy please, help me convert windows mail to outlook 2003.

I want to move my folders and messages from Windows Mail to outlook 2003. When I try to export in Windows Mail, I select File/Export/Messages/Microsoft Exchange. I get a message that says: "This will export messages from Windows Mail to Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Exchange." I click ok and try the export. That's when I get the error message: "The export could not be performed. An error occurred while initializing MAPI."

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Steve

sagauer,

Welcome to TSG!

According to M$ this error can occur when you attempt to export from Outlook Express (Windows Mail) under either of the two following conditions:
  • You configure Outlook Express to be the default Simple Messaging application programming interface (MAPI) client.
  • You import or export mail from Outlook Express, and you do not have Outlook installed on your computer.
I suspect the first condition is true. This link should help:
