Export Windows Mail to Outlook 2003 on VISTA error "can't initialize MAPI.

The woman has Windows Vista Home Premium installed. Using Windows Mail. We want to move to Outlook 2003. MS Office 2003 (including Outlook) was installed, was able to connect to the mail server, we use (POP3). With the help of the excellent Note Microsoft KB 196347 to export emails in Windows Mail when I choose the file, then export, then the Messages, then Microsoft Exchange, and then click OK in the popup note, I get this error: "Export could not be performed. An error occurred during initialization of MAPI". I read a lot of notes related to MAPI forum on import INTO Windows Mail, but not vice versa. NOTE: I installed VISTA family premium on my own PC, configure Windows Mail and then installed Office 2003 (including Outlook). I followed the same steps of export and had no problems. My VISTA installation is new, and my wife has been in place for about a year. Any help is appreciated! -Al

It is difficult to understand what the problem could be.  You can try compacting and repairing the database on the machine of your wife, but I don't know if this will have an impact on the problem (seewww.oehelp.com/WMUtil/).  Moreover, as a workaround you could transfer the Bank of messages of the wife to your pc, import the messages and then export them to Outlook, and then move the PST to his machine.  See here for general information: www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx
 
You can also consult an Outlook forum to see if they have a solution.

  • Export of email from Windows Mail to Outlook 2003

    Can I export e-mails from Windows Vista Mail to Outlook 2003

    1. the process requires Outlook and Windows Mail being installed and functional on the machine do the transfer.

    2. to move the e-mail messages, export to Microsoft Outlook (or Exchange) of in Windows Mail.  This places the e-mail messages in the Outlook Personal Folders file that is attached to the default Outlook profile.  When you then open Outlook, your messages will be already there, no need to import.  Export emails from OE/Windows Mail still works better than import with Outlook.

    • Outlook 2003
    • Outlook 2007

  • How can I transfer my stuff from Windows Mail to outlook?

    Hi people,

    I have just upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate on Vista Ultimate.  I know that Windows 7 does not support Windows Mail, so I need to switch to Outlook or Windows Live Mail.  I can't get Windows Live Mail with Yahoo (and Yahoo can help people).  On the other hand Outlook does not support the focus groups.

    I want to spend my email from Windows Mail in Outlook.  I can't find Windows Mail.  Any suggestions, tips ect. would be most appreciated. Shane

    Hi Shane,

    Thanks for posting. Windows Mail is no longer included in Windows 7. Now, Windows Live Mail is the customer, you can use Microsoft to your e-mail. You can install Windows Live Mail from the link below.

  • Export older emails from Windows Mail to where they were then I can open via my browser instead of Windows Mail

    I had difficulties to send items to my e-mail, so I contacted my internet provider (Comcast) for how to make sure my default email address was Comcast. They do apparently have undedrstand my problem and I did not understand how email worked.

    They ended up giving me directions that actually moved existing e-mail messages I accessed via my browser (IE9) to Windows Mail.  Now, all my previous messages can't be seen in my main mail to which I have access through my browser.

    I don't want to have to go in Windows Mail to check my older emails.  All my new messages can be found via my browser (where I want that they) AND also in Windows Mail.  But old messages that have been moved, is visible via access to Windows Mail.  I want to be able to see/open these older posts as before they were moved TO my e-mail from the browser.  I don't want to have to look in two places for messages.

    Comcast told me that Microsoft has to help me, even if they are the ones who caused the problem.  Is this a Microsoft problem or is it Comcast?  Can someone give me direction please?

    The default behavior for Windows Mail is to download messages and then ask the server to remove from the server.  This is what happened.  There is no way to get back them on the server.  You will need to send to yourself and then they would be back on the server, but as forwarded messages and not the originals.  To prevent WinMail removing when it downloads, you can go to tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced and check the option to leave them on the server.

    Windows mail send any ip ok no error. Ox 800ccc79 cylindrical invalid not port 25 secure SSL error 550 Server

    You try to send a file larger than 20 MB.  Try to reduce the size of the attachment of zipping it or go to tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced and select the option to break messages apart large.  However, many recipients servers will not accept messages exceeds 10 megabytes, then you could try to send via another method.  BTW, if you attach a file, it must be encoded to be sent by e-mail, and this coding adds about 30-50% the size.

    My 32 bit Vista computer died - power, card mother etc. I have Acronis Disk full backups on a daily and external drive Acronis cloud of my files 'user '.

    Thank you.

    If your drag / drop off the mail will find themselves in some folder you \drop in.

    A better solution would be to use the add-on from the import export tools if you have several nested folders as it will import a folder and the subfolders. The add-on will recreate your folder structure. It you choose to import the messages in a folder and its subfolders.

    Is is possible to change the Outlook Express instead of Windows Mail email client in Vista?  I just got a new computer with Vista, but many prefer Outlook Express with the big buttons.

    Not possible, Outlook Express does not work on Vista.  You should consider upgrading to Windows Live Mail, which has more features:

    I have an older version of Windows Office installed on my computer that includes Outlook Express, I also installed Windows mail.  I hooked up the windows mail to my verizon email account.  But when I click on the answer to an online ad, as a Craig List ad, online, the window of Outlook Express comes up instead of Windows mail.  How can I make windows mail window that appears?

    Hello

    Check application is set as the default e-mail application. If outlook express is set as default e-mail then you may need to change the default mail to Windows Mail application and check if that helps.
