Export email messages

[=?iso-8859-1?Q?Stig_Kulvedr=F8sten?=]

Is it possible to export email messages from Windows Mail to Microsoft
Outlook 2003? I've got both programs installed.

Using Windows Vista RTM

Only Microsoft Exchange and Windows Mail

Use Microsoft Exchange. Outlook is in the Exchange family.

I've tried this as well and all I get is an error about initializing the MAPI?

Windows Mail, like Outlook Express, only exports to an installed copy of
Outlook.
To backup Windows Mail see the section on Windows Mail here:

Yea i've got Office XP installed, along with the full install of Outlook, but
even with it installed, it still says the MAPI Can't be initialized
Even though Outlook itself works aok and is configured with the proper
personal folder etc.

Now that I think about it, do you think it's because i'm running Vista 64Bit
edition and it's looking for a 64bit edition of Exchange/outlook?

No Change the default email to Outlook and then try the export.

Sorry then, I don't know because I've never had Outlook installed on my
current machines.
