SYMPTOMS

Messages can not be imported from the MAPI client. An error has
occurred.
If you try to export messages from Outlook Express, you may receive
the following error message:

CAUSE
This behavior may occur if either of the following conditions is true:
You configure Outlook Express to be the default Simple Messaging
application programming interface (MAPI) client.
-or-
You are importing mail from Outlook into Outlook Express, but you
removed Outlook from your computer before you tried to import the
mail into Outlook Express.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, complete the methods that are described in this
section in the order that they are presented.
Reinstall Outlook Temporarily
IF you are importing mail from Outlook into Outlook Express but you
have already removed Outlook from your computer, reinstall Outlook
and then try to import the mail again.
Change your MAPI Settings
Configure Outlook Express to not be the default Simple MAPI client
before you import the mail items.
To do so, follow these steps:
Restart your computer, and then start Outlook Express.
On the Tools menu, click Options.
On the General tab, click to clear the Make Outlook Express my default
Simple MAPI client check box, and then click Apply.
Click OK when you receive the prompt to restart your computer.
Click OK, quit Outlook Express, and then restart your computer.
You can now import or export messages.
NOTE: After you complete the import or export process, you can
configure Outlook Express to be the default MAPI client. For
