    Outlook Express to Windos mail message import error

    Hi - just installed Vista & I can't seem to import the messages from Outlook
    into Windows mail.
    I've tried the file - import - message - outlook route
    I just get an error message
    "Messages cannot be imported from the MAPI client
    An error has occured"

    and thats it !



    any suggestions ?
    Thanks
    David

    See www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#oe2wm

    There are some tricky aspects to it, and you have to do it exactly. What
    others are finding often is the Browse path is actually inaccurate and has
    to be reset, so check that as well.
