Default Export / backup problem : MAPI error, HELP!

I cannot export or backup anything from my OE 6!

When I try to do the command (doen't matter what format I choose), this
error message appears:

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

I am running W2k.
How can I solve this problem? Can I deactivate the MAPI service and get it
to work, or...?
Need your help here guys, who know a bit more!
Dan

Hi Dan,

The export of messages only works to transfer data to Outlook or Exchange
installed on the same PC.

OLEXP: How to Back Up and Recover Outlook Express Data
OLEXP: How to Back Up and Recover Outlook Express Data

http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;270670



More information and options

Get OETool (www.oehelp.com/OETool/) and OEQB (www.oehelp.com/OEBackup/) and
put them in the same directory. Then there is a button in OETool that will
run OEQB and backup to 3 levels of redundancy just with a click of the
button.

Both are free.

Hello Tim
So you mean that my problem is because I have not installed Exchange on my computer? Does that cause the mapi error?
I will look at the sites and programs you suggest.
Thanks!
Dan

Yes, Microsoft meant the export (of messages) to provide an easy transition
to Outlook or Exchange. It can be a source of befuddlement when users expect
a different result. The help file mentions Outlook and Exchange, but could
have been explicit. Exporting messages without Outlook or Exchange installed
causes the error.

Hope all goes well.
