| | Import PST Outlook file from a different machine Is there anyway to import .PST files from Outlook running on a different machine to the one running WLM? Both machines running XP. However, when I attempt to import into WLM from an Outlook source, I get an 'Messages cannot be imported from the MAPI client' error. So cannot get as far as trying to open the PST file. |

| | Re: Import PST Outlook file from a different machine The only way to directly import a .pst file, is with Outlook installed on the computer running WLM. The other way is to import the Outlook data into Outlook Express (on the computer with Outlook). Then copy the .wab & .dbx files to the computer running WLM, and import them into WLM. -- Vista Home Premium 32 SP1 http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview "djb369" <djb369@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:18E7834C-2361-4E7B-9DB9-F635B02FB861@xxxxxx Quote: > Is there anyway to import .PST files from Outlook running on a different > machine to the one running WLM?

| | Re: Import PST Outlook file from a different machine The Office 2007 Standard trial(included Outlook) can be installed temporarily on the WLM machine. Once the pst file is on the newer machine(follow method in Outlook Help or the online help), then WLM will perform the import task. -- ...winston ms-mvp windows live mail "djb369" <djb369@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:18E7834C-2361-4E7B-9DB9-F635B02FB861@xxxxxx Quote: > Is there anyway to import .PST files from Outlook running on a different > machine to the one running WLM?
