Resolved Transfer messages in OE6 [MAPI error message]

Puzzled - Mapisp32.exe is a Microsoft Exchange/Outlook file .....

OL97: Error Msg: "The MAPI Spooler could not be started "

Do you have either of those installed?

 

Is your email account a standard POP3 account?

 

So presumably you have neither Microft Exchange (unlikely) or Outlook (?) installed.

I suggest you reregister OE and it's library files as outlined here ....

Ignore this command - regsvr32 msjava.dll - you do not have MSJava installed.

 

To clarify what's been said already, if you use Outlook Express File menu > Export > Messages, you MUST have Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Exchange installed in order to export messages.

If you want to export the messages to a different email program then you will have to use a 3rd party program that converts the Outlook Express mail folders into the format supported by the other email program. If this is the case, what email program will you be using?

And Windows Vista uses Windows Mail, which is the new name for Outlook Express. It's similar, but slightly different. Windows Mail can import the folders from Outlook Express. All you need to do is copy over the Outlook Express mail folders from its store directory. The default location is:
Documents & Settings/Username/Local Settings/Application Data/long string of numbers-letters/Microsoft/Outlook Express

The Outlook Express store directory is a system folder, thus you must set Control Panel > Folder Options > View tab to show hidden files, show system files.

 

You're welcome.

Just do this:
Copy the entire identity folder to the other hard drive. The OE folders could be used to replace the default folders on a new install, imported into Outlook or Windows Mail on a newly installed operating system drive.
Documents & Settings/Username/Local Settings/Application Data/Identities/long string of numbers-letters/Microsoft/Outlook Express
