Outlook Express -- Cannot Export Messages!

[brandon184]

I need to export my messages & folders within Outlook Express and import them into Outlook 2003 on another machine.

Whenever I try to do so within Outlook Express (File --> Export --> Messages..), I get this error:

"The export could not be performed.
An error occurred while initializing MAPI."

I've Google'd this and couldnt' really find much. But, maybe I'm just dense. I'll keep looking.

If anyone knows off the top of their head what I need to do to here, I'd appreciate the help!

Thanks.

In Outlook Express, click on [Tools][Options]. Click the maintenance tab. Click the Store Folder to see where Outlook stores your messages and mail stuff. Copy this folder to a CD or USB thumbdrive.

Backup the store folder on the other computer. Copy the old folder to the new computer. Start Outlook 2003 and import the folders.

Theoretically, this should work ;-)
