Post subject: MAPI error when attempting to import Outlook pst file to Windows Mail Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windows>vista>mail (more info?)
I have a new computer with Windows Mail installed (no other mail client) and
I need to import my pst file from my old Outlook.
When I try and import the file using File/Import/Messages/Microsoft Outlook,
I get the following error:
"Messages cannot be imported from the MAPI client. An error has occurred."
I've searched and have not seen a solution. Does anyone know of a
workaround?

1) Outlook must be installed. No Outlook, no work.
2) Some have reported version older than Outlook 2003 to have some problems
with Vista (not just Windows Mail).
3) If you can find a version of Outlook 2003 or above demo, you can install
it, use the .pst file you have and then import that into Windows Mail.
Another alternative is to import the Outlook messages into Outlook Express
on an XP, 2000, 98, Me machine, then copy the DBX files (ALL of them) to the
Vista machine and import those into WIndows Mail.

I am receiving this error, as well. Outlook 2007 is installed.
Every result Google throws at me says 'install Outlook', which just
makes me giggle a bit. Any leads?

May be you have configure Outlook Express to be the default MAPI
client.Change your MAPI Settings or reinstall your outlook may solve
your problem. May be your pst file get corrupt badly.You can try 'pst
repair' (http://www.repair-outlook-pst.com/) software.
It is easy to use and provides complete recovery of your corrupted or
lost pst file.It supports all the version of outlook.

Since Outlook Express won't run on Windows Vista, how is this information
going to help? How can you set OE to be the default MAPI client when it
won't even install? No, that error comes from an attempt to import Outlook
mail from an Outlook .PST file when Outlook is NOT installed to provide
access to the file.
