I just tried to do an export in OE6 and i get the following error:
The export could not be performed.
An error occurred while Initializing MAPI

I followed the instructions in MSKB:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/179637/en-us
changing to yahoo mail and restarting OE but get the same error
There seems to be no other articles with any help in MSKB

I guess when im ready to move the items i will just forward them to myself
and retrieve them in XP OE.

Any Ideas?
