Already checked MS Knowledge Base and it was of no help! Aug 4, 2004 #1 Goalie TS Booster Posts: 616 First of all.. MAPI is used typically for Exchange based features. It can be used for other features, particularly something like exporting to a PST file. Is this Outlook or Outlook Express? BIG difference. Just http://www.techspot.com/community/topics/outlook-express-6-export-mapi-error.14594/ checking, I know you said OE... http://www.winbookcorp.com/_technote/WBTA05000872.htm is for OE 4.. I don't know if the same applies to 6. (Appears not to) http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q179637 Indicates for OE up to 5.5.. However, it may still work for 6. (Appears not to) See also http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=...c3ae0c%24cd529d90%24a301280a%40phx.gbl&rnum=9 This indicates that Export isn't what you want, but backup the data instead. Provides several good links. Edit: More info, spelling correction Aug 4, 2004 #2 Goalie TS Booster Posts: 616 To Clarify: Outlook Express 6's export function is meant only to export messages directly to Outlook 2000+ or Exchange.. To go to other programs, you should backup your data and then import from the backup. Aug 4, 2004 #3 dexterdoo TS Rookie Topic Starter Posts: 21 Thanks Goalie ! I've got a backup program that works fine, I just thought that something was wrong since the Import/Export wasn't working ..... Aug 4, 2004 #4 (You must log in or sign up to reply here.)

I'm just trying to build a new system, but need to export my e-mail before I take down this current system. I just used the "export" feature in Outlook Express, chose "messages" and instead of working the application gives me an error outlook express message in a tiny window that says "an error occurred while initializing MAPI"..... Anyone know how to slap the MAPI back in line? lol I REALLY need my e-mails to go over to my next computer, as alot of the e-mails are business related. Thanks in advance for any and all help, I appreciate your time in trying to help me.

In this case, follow these directions as a substitute for the "Change your MAPI Settings" directions in the article. - Go to the Internet Options control panel and select the Programs tab - Select any program other than Outlook Express from the dropdown menu for E-mail - Click OK You may have to restart your machine first but see if you can now export your messages. #5 catrats, May 28, 2005 catrats Senior member Joined: Aug 30, 2001 Messages: 299 Likes Received: 0 Ok, scratch that previous reply.

Click OK when you receive the prompt to restart your computer. 5. Click OK, quit Outlook Express, and then restart your computer. You should now be able import or export messages.
