Getting messages from Microsoft Outlook to Windows mail

[Guest]

when I try importing messages from microsoft outlook I get the error message
"Messages cannot be imported from the MAPI client" What does this mean and
what am I doing wrong

It means you don't have Outlook installed on the machine you're using to do
the import. Windows Mail (like Outlook Express before it) REQUIRES Outlook
to be installed, it uses Outlook's "plumbing" to access the .PST file.
Install Outlook, open the ..PST file with it, then try your import again.

Not necessarily. In my case and others, Outlook is installed. There is
evidently no reasonable solution.

If you have trouble opening the .PST file in Outlook, you should consult
the experts in the Outlook newsgroup. Most of us Windows Mail experts
are not Outlook experts.
