Hello Pamela, I haven't tried this procedure but this Microsoft Knowledge Base article may be helpful: ENT2001: How to Use IMAP to Move Messages Between a PC and a Macintosh in Entourage, Outlook, or Outlook Express: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;311129 Sven Swanson, Sr. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pamela Wile" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Monday, December 05, 2005 5:08 PM Subject: [PCSOFT] Cannot Import Outlook Messages Into Outlook Express 6 Hello, I've just purchased a new computer - a Pentium 4 3.0GHz - 1 Gb Ram - O/S Windows XP Home. I am now using Outlook Express 6 On my old computer I was using Outlook for email only and all of my email has been burned to a CD. There are two files - archive.pst and outlook.pst. I attempted to import my Outlook email into Outlook Express by clicking on File-->Import and selecting Messages, Outlook. I then clicked on Next and get an error that says: "Messages cannot be imported from the MAPI client. An error has occurred." I've searched a bit but haven't come up with anything that looks like it will work. One suggestion for a fix was "If there is no MAPI client configured, you can create a profile under Control Panel->Post. Choose profiles and add a new profile. There is no need to connect an existing email address to the profile. Once you've done that, the error message should be gone. Import the file with File->Import->Messages->Exchange. Eventually Express will ask for a .pst file." However, I can find no icon or folder called Post. or tab for profiles. Can anyone suggest how I can successfully import and/or read these email messages? Regards, Pamela Wile Curious about the people moderating your messages?
