You can only File Export to MS Outlook or Exchange. You want to backup
your data and import it into OE5. (And if you want to avoid problems,
make
sure IE and OE are v5.01 or higher. Long story...)

I am trying to export my messages from OE6 using Windows XP so I can

following error message:

"Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client
cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run MS Outlook and set
it as the default mail client"

followed by the message:

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

Every time I set OE as the default for mail it automatically changes
back to something else.

How can I remedy this problem?

Thanks
