Importing email from Outlook XP to Outlook Express

[Brian Gonzalez via OfficeKB.com]

Hi All,

I am looking to import all of the email from an Outlook XP account to a new Outlook Express account. We are converting several people from outlook to outlook express. They use roaming profiles. The machine that they will be performing the import will not have Outlook installed. They will also have new profiles also to lock down other security holes in my network. I copied the microsoft outlook folder in application and also copied over the pst file to their new profile and outlook express still says it can not find the MAPI file . Can you please help me out with this, Thanks in advance.

Then you can't import. Outlook *must* reside on the machine that you are
doing the import on.

Also have a look here at using OE on a network.

They will also have new profiles also to lock down other

security holes in my network. I copied the microsoft outlook folder
in application and also copied over the pst file to their new profile
and outlook express still says it can not find the MAPI file . Can
you please help me out with this, Thanks in advance.

Why are you changing the email client from Outlook to OE in the first place?
