Vista - Re: outlook to windows mail problems

That message would indicate that Outlook is no longer installed (Outlook is
the "MAPI client" listed in the error message). If it was installed, then
vanished with this update, try running Detect and Repair either from the
Help menu in Outlook (if you can still open it) or from Setup on the install
CD. If this fixes it, then you've no need to move anything from Outlook to
Windows Mail, unless you decide you like WM's interface and operation
better. Note that Windows Mail is NOT and upgrade to Outlook; to most
Outlook users, it is a significant Downgrade.

No need for any exports on the XP PC, all you need to do is make copies of
the .DBX files (Outlook Express' data files), take these to your Vista PC,
and follow these instructions:

How do I back up my files and settings?
