Export messages error while initializing NAPI.

[W. Kirk Crawford]

Greetings,

I am trying to export my messages from one box to a new one.

I click File>Export>Message> I get, 'This will export messages from Outlook Express to Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Exchange.'

Click OK, and I get this error message, 'The export could not be performed. An error occurred while initializing MAPI.'

Using Outlook Express 6. Windows 2000 Pro.

Thank for any help.

Do you have Outlook installed?

No, I don't have Outlook. I am trying to transfer the messages from one box with Outlook Express to a new laptop with Outlook Express.

I'm having the same problem with Outlook Express 6 on WinXP SP2. I followed
the instructions in KB article 179637, but it didn't fix the problem.

Then you should ask in an Outlook Express newsgroup like
