MAPI Client

[Jay Hanig]

I've got a Treo 755P telephone and all I want to do is be able to email
a photo I took with it to a friend.

I've got the most recent version of Palm's Desktop software installed on
my computer and downloaded the photo into it. But when I then
subsequently try to email it, it tells me I don't have a MAPI client
installed.

I had migrated from Outlook Express some time ago due to a file
corruption to Live Mail but was unhappy with it for multiple reasons and
ultimately found my way to Thunderbird, which is what I use today for
ordinary email.

So now it looks like I need some sort of MAPI client. I doubt I'd use
it for any other purpose other than this since I've gotten along fine
without one essentially since the days of DOS 5.1. But I don't want to
spin my tires. What should I install?

I have a copy of Office 2005 installed if that makes any difference. I
didn't bother installing Outlook at the time as all I wanted was Word,
Excel and Power Point. Would Outlook be what I need?

Thunderbird *is* a MAPI client. Have you set Thunderbird to be your
default email client?

However, see http://kb.mozillazine.org/MAPI_Support

There's also a TB extension to synch Palm with TB:

You might try asking your question either in a Palm forum or in

The application requires a Full MAPI mail client (e.g., MS Outlook). OE,
Windows Live Mail, and Thunderbird are all Simple MAPI mail clients.

I have a copy of Office 2005 installed...

Huh? Maybe Office 2003 or Office 2007 but 2005? I don't think so.

NB: Not all Office versions include MS Outlook.

Office 2005 is for the Mac OS

Yes, but OP made no mention of running WinXP on a Mac and since this is a
WinXP-specific newsgroup, one would assume...

My bad. Office 2003.

If your version of Office 2003 includes Outlook, it should work nicely with
the application requiring Full MAPI.
